Next-Generation Sequencing of Coccidioides immitis Isolated during Cluster Investigation

Next-Generation Sequencing of Coccidioides immitis Isolated during Cluster Investigation

Next-generation sequencing enables use of whole-genome sequence typing (WGST) as a viable and discriminatory tool for genotyping and molecular epidemiologic analysis. We used WGST to confirm the linkage of a cluster of Coccidioides immitis isolates from 3 patients who received organ transplants from...
