Abstract

Symptomatic BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infections are common and relevant in immunocompromised patients. Here, we present full-length BKPyV genomes from samples from patients who received hematopoietic cell transplants in the United States. These individuals had non-subtype I BKPyV, as determined by amplification, next-generation sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis.

FIG 1
Representative BKPyV full genome sequences (downloaded from GenBank) were aligned, and phylogenetic inference was performed in BEAST version 1.10.4 (8). Sequences are labeled with their GenBank accession number, country of origin, and subtype, if known. Nodes separating subtypes are marked with closed circles and labeled. Sequences of interest (subject 1 and subject 2) are highlighted in red.
