Comparative analyses of the biological characteristics, fluconazole resistance, and heat adaptation mechanisms of Candida auris and members of the Candida haemulonii complex

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Candida auris and the emerging fungal pathogens comprising the Candida haemulonii complex ( C. haemulonii and C. duobushaemulonii ) are phylogenetically closely related. Notably, each can cause serious nosocomial infection and acquire multidrug resistance. We isolated various strains of C. auris and C. haemulonii complex from patient specimens. The results of growth curve analysis and the spot assay...
