Metagenomic Identification of Fusarium solani Strain as Cause of US Fungal Meningitis Outbreak Associated with Surgical Procedures in Mexico, 2023
Figure 3

Figure 3. Diagram of concatenation and alignment step of the metaMELT procedure (metagenomic multiple extended locus typing, a novel analytic technique for simultaneously diagnosing the infection and characterizing the interrelatedness of Fusarium solani strains) used for identification of F. solani strain as cause of fungal meningitis US outbreak associated with surgical procedures in Mexico, 2023. The diagram shows concatenated metagenomic next-generation sequencing reads from 4 patients and the corresponding regions extracted from reference genomes, which are aligned to by using MAFFT version 7.388 (22). This diagram demonstrates step shown in Figure 2, panel B.
