Transmission patterns of<i>Candida auris</i>among regional healthcare facilities revealed by genomic epidemiology and patient transfer data
2025-06-27
Abstract excerpt
Candida auris emerged in Chicago, IL, USA in 2016 and has since become endemic. We used whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 494 isolates, epidemiologic metadata, and patient transfer data to describe the transmission of C. auris among Chicago healthcare facilities between 2016 - 2021. 99% of isolates formed a single clade IV phylogenetic lineage, suggesting a single introduction. Isolates were grouped into genomic cl...
