Draft genome sequences of the pathogenic fungi Scedosporium aurantiacum and Scedosporium apiospermum from clinical isolates

TL;DR

This paper provides draft genome sequences for two pathogenic fungi, Scedosporium aurantiacum and Scedosporium apiospermum, from clinical isolates.

Contribution

The study presents new draft genome assemblies of two Scedosporium species using Oxford Nanopore sequencing.

Findings

Draft genome of S. aurantiacum was assembled into 11 contigs.

Draft genome of S. apiospermum was assembled into 9 contigs.

Genomes were derived from clinical isolates using Oxford Nanopore sequencing.

Abstract

Scedosporium species are filamentous fungi with inherent broad antifungal resistance that pose opportunistic infection threats. We present draft genome assemblies of S. aurantiacum (11 contigs) and S. apiospermum (9 contigs), derived from Oxford Nanopore sequencing of one Australian clinical isolate each.
