Main Article

Figure 2

Genetic relatedness of clinical and wastewater isolates identified in the southern Nevada, USA, 2022, to reference clinical isolates. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree shows clade III C. auris isolates recovered from 3 southern Nevada acute care hospitals (identified by National Center for Biotechnology Information Sequence Read Archive [SRA] accession number) and from the wastewater treatment plants to which they were connected (NV_Wastewater_1 [SRA accession no. SRR21758525] and NV_Wastewater_2[SRA accession no. SRR21758524]). Two unrelated isolates from Florida and Indiana are included in the tree: B188833_FL (SRA accession no. SRR12526241) and B12631_IN (SRA accession no. SRR7909359). Scale bar indicates single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
