Complete Genome Sequence of Candida mucifera from an Otitis Media Patient.
Mycopathologia
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study presents the first detailed genome analysis of a rare human yeast pathogen called Candida mucifera, identified in a patient suffering from chronic ear infections.
- Researchers found that this pathogen shows lower effectiveness to azole antifungals, which are commonly used to treat fungal infections.
- The findings suggest that Candida mucifera has similarities in drug resistance to its related species in the Trichomonascus ciferrii complex.
The complete genome sequence of the bacterium DAR84756, isolated from soil in Orange, NSW, Australia, was resolved using a combination of Nanopore long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing. The genome consists of a single, circular chromosome of 5,004,491 bp and a plasmid of 40,722 bp.

- Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are a leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), with a study analyzing 320 isolates from urine samples revealing that most were not chosen based on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) characteristics.
- Whole genome sequencing (WGS) identified 88 sequence types (STs), with ST73, ST95, ST127, and ST131 being the most prevalent, while the presence of virulence plasmids indicated a complex relationship between virulence and antibiotic resistance.
- F plasmids varied in their antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) content, with pUTI89-like plasmids showing fewer ARGs compared to non-pUTI89-like plasmids, and the phylogenomic analysis suggested
The complete genome sequences of Rouxiella badensis DSM 100043 and Rouxiella chamberiensis DSM 28324 were determined using Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and the Flye assembler. The former contains a circular chromosome of 4,964,479 bp and a circular plasmid of 116,582 bp; the latter contains a circular chromosome of 4,639,296 bp.

March 2023
Background: Although the yeast () has been rarely reported in human infections, nosocomial outbreaks caused by this organism have been documented. Here we report a pseudo-outbreak of in a urology department of a Chinese hospital over a two-week period.
Methods: Three patients were admitted to the urology department of a tertiary teaching hospital in Beijing, China, from Nov to Dec 2018, for different medical intervention demands.
