Figures

Fig 1
Fig 1. Schematic representation illustrating up-to-date clinical Fusarium species reported from clinical cases and belonging to ten Fusarium species complexes.
Fig 2
Fig 2. Sequence-based phylogeny of clinically related Fusarium species and associated antifungal susceptibilities with morphological features.
Neighbor-Joining tree created by MEGA6 from TEF1 sequences of clinically related Fusarium species using 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) profiles of eight antifungals against each species have been incorporated into the figure. “-,” no data available for these species. AMB = amphotericin B, FLC = fluconazole, ITC = itraconazole, VOR = voriconazole, POS = posaconazole, CAS = caspofungin, 5FC = 5-flucytosine, AND = anidulafungin.
