Genotyping results of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates in sputum cultures and on cough plates obtained from 2 participants with cystic fibrosis demonstrating aerosol formation of A. fumigatus, the Netherlands, 2015–2018. For samples collected after August 2017, a maximum of 20 isolates per sputum culture were saved. For samples collected earlier, only 1 sputum sample isolate was saved. Genotypes of the isolates collected from patient 4 (A) and 15 (B) are indicated. The superscript number indicates
