TL;DR
This paper presents the draft genome of Candida auris MUTCD0001, the first clinical isolate from Ireland, highlighting the need for better surveillance of this drug-resistant yeast.
Contribution
The novelty lies in providing the first draft genome sequence of C. auris from a clinical specimen in Ireland.
Findings
The draft genome of Candida auris MUTCD0001 was sequenced.
C. auris is identified as a multidrug-resistant yeast with potential for patient-to-patient transmission.
Abstract
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Candida auris MUTCD0001, the first isolate of a human clinical specimen from Ireland. C. auris is a multidrug-resistant yeast, and studies of drug-resistant C. auris outbreaks have shown transmission among patients, demonstrating a need for improved epidemiological surveillance of C. auris.
