Abstract excerpt
Candida auris is an emerging pathogen known for causing invasive, multidrug-resistant infections and healthcare-associated outbreaks. Measuring the relatedness of C. auris strains is critical for detecting and preventing healthcare-associated transmission. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) offer high-resolution assessments of genetic relatedness and antifungal...
