Abstract

Candida auris is a multidrug-resistant yeast incriminated in a wide spectrum of invasive infections, especially in intensive care settings. The first draft genome sequence of C. auris, VPCI 479/P/13, from a case with fungemia was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The estimated genome size is 12.3 Mb, with 6,675 coding sequences.
