Antifungal susceptibility profile and molecular identification of Cyp51C mutations in clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus flavus from Argentina.

Background: The emergence of azole resistance in non-fumigatus Aspergillus strains is on the raise.

Objectives: To study the susceptibility profiles and the molecular mechanisms of azole resistance of environmental and clinical strains of Aspergillus flavus from Argentina.

Methods: Thirty-five A flavus isolates (18 from soybean seeds and chickpea seeds and 17 from the clinic) were analysed for amphotericin B and azole resistance using the standard microbroth dilution method according to CLSI M38-A2 guidelines.

Draft genome sequence data of , a causal agent of Cercospora leaf blight and purple seed stain of soybeans.
