Fig 1. Partial hsp65 gene sequence of T. whipplei in bronchoalveolar lavage and induced sputum samples from the same participant.

Fig 1

The gene sequences of the reference T. whipplei hsp65 and the isolates of T. whipplei from number 5 participant’s BAL and IS were analyzed using Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis version 6 (MEGA6) software packages. Both isolates of T. whipplei in the BAL and IS in the same participant had mutations in the hsp65 gene and shared genetic identity. BAL, Bronchoalveolar lavage; IS, induced sputum; hsp65, heat-shock protein 65 gene.
