Progress in molecular epidemiology of common deep opportunistic pathogenic fungi

Abstract

Abstract: With the abuse of antibiotics and the increasing number of immuno-compromised patients, the infection rate of the deep opportunistic pathogenic fungi is rising year by year, with high morbidity and fatality rate. By the method of genotyping, molecular epidemiology combines infective characteristics and epidemiological date of patients to analyze, which is of great significance for the prevention and cure of diseases. Progress in molecular epidemiology of three common deep opportunistic pathogenic fungi (Candida albicans,Aspergillus fumigates,Cryptococcus) were reviewed in this article.

Key words: Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigates, Cryptococcus, molecular epidemiology
