Advances in molecular typing of fusariosis would facilitate the study of its epidemiology. We tested 26 such isolates by the commercially available DiversiLab System. The system utilizes automated repetitive sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) and web-based data analyses. rep-PCR dendrogram cluster analysis showed agreement with species sequence identification (elongation factor 1 alpha gene). Additionally, subtype differences within the same species were noted.
