	Abstract

Aspergillus terreus isolates collected at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, and at the University Hospital of Innsbruck, Austria, were analyzed using random amplification of polymorphic DNA-PCR with three different primers. No strain similarity in either institution was detected, indicating great genetic diversity of A. terreus.
