Patterns recovered in phylogenomic analysis of Candida auris and close relatives implicate broad environmental flexibility in Candida/Clavispora clade yeasts

Abstract excerpt

Fungal pathogens commonly originate from benign or non-pathogenic strains living in the natural environment. The recently emerged human pathogen, Candida auris, is one example of a fungus believed to have originated in the environment and recently transitioned into a clinical setting. To date, however, there is limited evidence about the origins of this species in the natural environment and when it began...
