Genome Sequence of the Pathogenic Fungus Sporothrix schenckii (ATCC 58251)

Genome Announc. 2014 May 22;2(3):e00446-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00446-14.

Abstract

Sporothrix schenckii is a pathogenic dimorphic fungus that grows as a yeast and as mycelia. This species is the causative agent of sporotrichosis, typically a skin infection. We report the genome sequence of S. schenckii, which will facilitate the study of this fungus and of the Sporothrix schenckii group.
