FIG 3.

Correlations of genome-wide coverage patterns among 11 M. abscessus isolates collected from three patients. Correlations of genome-wide sequence coverage patterns were performed for all pairwise combinations of 11 isolates (n = 55). Each pair was binned as between-patient isolates (n = 40) or within-patient isolates (n = 15). Isolates obtained from the same patient had much higher correlations than isolates from different patients, suggesting genetically homogeneous infecting populations in individual patients.
