A Candida auris outbreak has been ongoing in Southern Nevada since August 2021. In this manuscript we describe the sequencing of over 200 C. auris isolates from patients at several facilities. Genetically distinct subgroups of C. auris were detected from Clade I (3 distinct lineages) and III (1 lineage). Open-source bioinformatic tools were developed and implemented to aid in the epidemiological investigation....
