Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, an Emergent Opportunistic Pathogen
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, a yeast with valuable biotechnological features, has also been recorded as an emergent opportunistic pathogen that might cause disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of R. mucilaginosa strain C2.5t1, which was isolated from cacao seeds in Cameroon.

Complete Genome Sequence of Rothiamucilaginosa DY-18: A Clinical Isolate with DenseMeshwork-Like Structures from a Persistent Apical Periodontitis Lesion
Rothia mucilaginosa is an opportunistic pathogen in the human oral cavity and pharynx. We found that R. mucilaginosa DY-18, a clinical isolate from a persistent apical periodontitis lesion, had biofilm-like structures. Similar structures were also observed on R. mucilaginosa ATCC25296. To further study these structures, we determined the complete genome sequence of DY-18 and found it a 2.26-Mb ...
متن کاملRothia mucilaginosa prosthetic device infections: a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis.
Rothia mucilaginosa is increasingly recognized as an emerging opportunistic pathogen associated with prosthetic device infections. Infective endocarditis is one of the most common clinical presentations. We report a case of R. mucilaginosa prosthetic valve endocarditis and review the literature of prosthetic device infections caused by this organism.

In industry, the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is commonly used for the production of carotenoids. The production of carotenoids is important because they are used as natural colorants in food and some carotenoids are precursors of retinol (vitamin A). However, the identification and molecular characterization of the carotenoid pathway/s in species belonging to the genus Rhodotorula is scarce ...
متن کاملEndocarditis caused by Rhodotorula infection.
Rhodotorula is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen that is rarely reported to cause endocarditis. We describe a case involving a patient who developed endocarditis due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis, proven by culture and histopathology. The case illustrates the unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges relevant to Rhodotorula spp.
متن کاملRhodotorula fungemia: two cases and a brief review.
Rhodotorula is emerging as an important cause of nosocomial and opportunistic infections. We present two cases of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa fungemia diagnosed over a period of 3 months at our hospital. The first case was of a pre-term neonate in the neonatal ICU who presented with respiratory failure and sepsis. The second involved an adult female who had been injured in a road traffic accident ...
