- Research ArticleOutbreak of Invasive Wound Mucormycosis in a Burn Unit Due to Multiple Strains of Mucor circinelloides f. circinelloides Resolved by Whole-Genome Sequencing
Invasive wound mucormycosis (IWM) is a severe infection due to environmental molds belonging to the order Mucorales. Severely burned patients are particularly at risk for IWM. Here, we used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis to resolve an outbreak of IWM due to Mucor circinelloides that occurred in our hospital (BU1). We sequenced 21 clinical isolates, including...
