Draft Genome Sequence of Geotrichum candidum Strain 3C

We report here the draft genome sequence of Geotrichum candidum strain 3C, which is a filamentous yeast-like fungus that holds great promise for biotechnology. The genome was sequenced using Ion Torrent and 454 platforms. The estimated genome size was 41.4 Mb, and 14,579 protein-coding genes were predicted ab initio.

Disseminated Geotrichum candidum infection.

The pathogenicity of the fungus Geotrichum candidum in humans has not been clearly defined. A patient with acute leukemia who developed a fatal disseminated G. candidum infection while neutropenic is described. At autopsy examination, this patient was misdiagnosed on the basis of histopathology as having disseminated candidiasis until G. candidum was isolated from postmortem culture specimens. ...

Correction for Rimbara et al., Draft Genome Sequence of Helicobacter fennelliae Strain MRY12-0050, Isolated from a Bacteremia Patient

Volume 1, no. 4, e00512-13, 2013. After publication, we detected the presence of a putative cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) gene cluster in Helicobacter fennelliae MRY12-0050. In the last paragraph before the accession numbers, the third sentence should read as follows: “H. cinaedi and H. hepaticus have been reported to express cytolethal distending toxin (CDT), which causes DNA damage to tar...
