Genome Sequence of the Pathogenic Fungus Sporothrix schenckii (ATCC 58251).

ABSTRACT: Sporothrix schenckii is a pathogenic dimorphic fungus that grows as a yeast and as mycelia. This species is the causative agent of sporotrichosis, typically a skin infection. We report the genome sequence of S. schenckii, which will facilitate the study of this fungus and of the Sporothrix schenckii group.
