Article Title: Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis of clinical isolates of Aspergillus flavus from Iran reveals the first cases of Aspergillus minisclerotigenes associated with human infection

Figure Lengend Snippet: goeBURST networks of clinical and environmental Aspergillus flavus isolates. Networks were drawn using the Minimum Spanning Tree expansion implemented in PHYLOVIZ . Circles represent MLV genotypes and are proportional to the number of isolates with the same genotype; MLV genotypes are numbered as shown in Table . Solid lines show genotypes joined at the double locus variant (DLV) level; dashed lines show genotypes joined at the single locus variant (SLV) level. Networks are integrated with A) taxonomic; B) geographic; C) clinical; and D) toxin data. White arrows: Iranian A. minisclerotigenes isolates 66041 and 66161; black arrow: Iranian isolate 65728.
Article Snippet: MIC reference strains A. flavus ATCC 204304 and Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 204305 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection.
