Abstract excerpt

The emerging fungal pathogen Candida auris is a serious global public health threat due to its ability to persist in healthcare environments and on human skin. Here, we report a prevalent cluster of clinical C. auris strains with enhanced biofilm formation, a contributor to environmental and skin persistence. Genomic analyses show that the clinical isolates with enhanced biofilm formation ability carry a...
