Comparative Genomics of the First Resistant Candida auris Strain Isolated in Mexico: Phylogenomic and Pan-Genomic Analysis and Mutations Associated with Antifungal Resistance

Abstract excerpt

Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant and opportunistic pathogenic yeast. Whole-genome sequencing analysis has defined five major clades, each from a distinct geographic region. The current study aimed to examine the genome of the C. auris 20–1498 strain, which is the first isolate of this fungus identified in Mexico. Based on whole-genome sequencing, the draft genome was found to contain 70 contigs....
