Molecular Epidemiology of Blastomyces gilchristii Clusters, Minnesota, USA. [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We characterized 2 clusters of blastomycosis cases in Minnesota, USA, using whole-genome sequencing and single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses. Blastomyces gilchristii was confirmed as the cause of infection.
