Study traces Lodderomyces elongisporus contamination in mobile devices, suggesting preventive measures are needed.
We report the draft whole-genome sequences of two Lodderomyces elongisporus strains accidentally isolated from human skin and a mobile device in France. Initial Vitek-MS identification was inconclusive, but ITS sequencing confirmed the species. Whole-genome sequencing using Illumina NovaSeq X revealed high genomic similarity between the two isolates (ANIm: 99.34%). Antifungal susceptibility testing following CLSI-M27-4th edition showed low minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) (<0.5 µg/mL) for all tested antifungals.
