Clade distribution of Candida auris in South Africa using whole genome sequencing of clinical and environmental isolates

Abstract excerpt

In South Africa, Candida auris was the third most common cause of candidemia in 2016–2017. We performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genome-wide analysis of 115 C. auris isolates collected between 2009 and 2018 from national laboratory-based surveillance, an environmental survey at four hospitals and a colonization study during a neonatal unit outbreak. The first known South African C. auris strain from...
