Draft Genome Sequence of the Animal and Human Pathogen Malassezia pachydermatis Strain CBS 1879

Malassezia pachydermatis is a basidiomycetous yeast that causes infections in humans and animals. Here, we report the genome sequence of Malassezia pachydermatis strain CBS 1879, which will facilitate the study of mechanisms underlying pathogenicity of the only non-lipid-dependent Malasezzia species.
