Trichosporon asahii strain:OK01 Genome sequencing
Trichosporan species cause potentially life threatening localized and disseminated infections in immunocompromised individuals. While fungal lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients is well established, the significance of Trichosporan species is not widely recognized. Herein, we describe the genome of Trichosporon asahii isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient in Oklahoma, USA.
