Figure 2

Figure 2. Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis genotyping results for Aspergillus fumigatus found during hospital stay of colonized patient, France, 2015. The distance tree was plotted by using iTOL version 4.2 (https://itol.embl.de/), taking into account the 3 microsatellite markers that were obtained from each A. fumigatus isolate sampled from the various study sites. The length-polymorphisms of 9 microsatellite markers were obtained for the 14 isolates sampled at the ICU during the patient’s stay and 1 control. ICU room locations are detailed in the Technical Appendix. CF, cystic fibrosis center; EDC, electrostatic dustfall collector; EXT, a school in northeastern France; ICU, intensive care unit; MRS, Marseille; PFT, pulmonary function testing center; PICU, pediatric intensive care unit. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
