This study reports the first documentation of Candida oceani isolated from human skin punch biopsy. Susceptibility testing showed good activity of common clinical antifungals against the isolate. Whole genome sequencing was performed to provide a draft genome of C. oceani.
We describe to our knowledge, the first documentation of Candida oceani isolate from human skin punch biopsy. Susceptibility testing was performed using Sensititre YeastOne YO10 microplate method and all common clinical antifungals appeared to have good activity against the isolate. Whole genome sequencing was also performed to provide a C. oceani draft genome.
