ABSTRACTMolecular characterization ofcyp51Afrom the azole-resistantAspergillus fumigatusisolate 50593 from a lung transplant patient showed Y121F/T289A changes coupled with a 46-bp tandem repeat (TR46) on the promoter, whereascyp51Afrom the pretherapy isolate,A. fumigatus47381, showed no changes. This is the first reported case ofA. fumigatusazole resistance due to Y121F/T289A/TR46 in the United States, suggesting that multiple mutational alterations ofcyp51Aresulting in high-level azole resistance could occur during prolonged antifungal therapy.

SUMMARYUnlike most jurisdictions in the United States, Alaska performs pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) characterization of all Campylobacter sp. isolates at the state public health laboratory – a practice that started in 2002. Moreover, in order to ensure early detection and response to campylobacteriosis outbreaks, the Alaska Section of Epidemiology has investigated all incident Campylobacter sp. case reports since 2004. This report summarizes the public health impact of routine incident case investigations and molecular characterization of all Campylobacter sp. isolates. In sum, we found that these efforts have contributed to better characterization of the epidemiology of campylobacteriosis in Alaska, and facilitated more rapid outbreak detection, more public health investigations, and earlier public health interventions.
