Researchers have used genomic sequencing to highlight the connection among identified cases of blastomycosis, according to a recent study (Emerg Infect Dis 2022;28[9]:1924-1926).
“This study is the first to use genomic sequencing for an outbreak investigation of blastomycosis in the U.S.,” said Nancy A. Chow, PhD, the data and quality team leader for the Mycotic Diseases branch in the Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases, at the CDC, in Atlanta.
