To understand the characterizations of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus from potting soil samples in the hospital, a total of 58 samples were collected. Among 106 A. fumigatus samples obtained, 5 isolates from 4 soil samples located in the gerontology department were identified as azole-resistant A. fumigatus (ARAF). Four ARAF isolates harbored the TR 34 /L98H allele, and the other one had no mutation in the cyp51A gene. Among 174 A. fumigatus samples selected for genotyping, TRESPERG typing obtained a close discriminatory power (Simpson's index of diversity [DI], 0.9941; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.9913 to 0.9968) compared with the short tandem repeat (STR) typing (DI, 0.9997; 95% CI, 0.9976 to 1.0000). Genotyping showed that the TR 34 /L98H isolates in the hospital had a close genetic relationship with ARAF isolates from China and many other countries. In conclusion, this study indicated the presence of ARAF in potting soil samples from the hospital, which might pose a risk of causing ARAF infection in patients.
