Abstract excerpt
Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen notable for its resistance to multiple antifungals and ability to survive in various environments. Understanding the interactions between C. auris and environmental protozoa, such as Acanthamoeba castellanii, could provide insights into fungal adaptability and pathogenicity. Two C. auris isolates (MMC1 and MMC2) were co-cultured with A. castellanii to examine...
