Mycopathologia. 2019 Dec;184(6):731-734. doi: 10.1007/s11046-019-00404-0. Epub 2019 Nov 16.

Abstract

Candida vulturna is a new member of the Candida haemulonii species complex that recently received much attention as it includes the emerging multidrug-resistant pathogen Candida auris. Here, we describe the high-quality genome sequence of C. vulturna type strain CBS 14366T to cover all genomes of pathogenic C. haemulonii species complex members.

Keywords: Candida haemulonii species complex; Candida vulturna; De novo genome assembly; Emerging pathogen; Nanopore sequencing.
