Full genome sequencing of culture isolates obtained
from the patient and from Camel B showed
that the two samples were 100% identical.
Alignment of the sequences that were obtained
in this study with others reported in GenBank
showed unique mutations in 14 nucleotide positions
(Table S2 in the Supplementary Appendix).
Partial genome sequencing of the regions containing
these mutations from the original samples
obtained from the patient and from Camel B
showed the same mutations except for a T-to-C
substitution at position 10154 and a T-to-G transversion
at position 25800 (Fig. S3 in the Supplementary
Appendix). Apart from these differences,
there was complete concordance between the two
sets of partial sequences obtained directly from
the original samples and those obtained from
cultures.
