Whole-genome sequencing of Hyphopichia burtonii from isolated yeast recovered from zebra dove droppings in Thailand.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to characterize zoonotic yeasts from zebra dove (Geopelia striata) droppings in small farms in Songkhla province, Thailand. Four out of thirty-one isolates were found with morphology and biochemical test results like those of Cryptococcus spp. (12.9%) but they exhibited different results from the positive control in nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR); the first step with ITS1-ITS4 primers was negative, but the nested PCR step with CN4-CN5 was positive. All isolates were subjected to antifungal susceptibility testing. Only the Tip11 isolate showed high resistance to itraconazole and ketoconazole, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of >32.0 and 32.0 µg/mL, respectively, corresponding to high levels of minimum fungicidal concentrations for both drugs (>32 µg/mL).
