This paper analyzes genomic epidemiology and antifungal resistance in Candida auris isolates from Colombia, identifying genetic clusters and resistance mechanisms.

The paper identifies chromosomal rearrangements and loss of subtelomeric adhesins in Clade II of Candida auris, linking these to reduced virulence and outbreak potential compared to other clades.

This study traces the global emergence and evolutionary history of Candida auris using population genomic analyses of isolates from 19 countries, identifying clades, phylogeographic patterns, and antifungal resistance mechanisms.

The paper analyzes genome assemblies and RNA-Seq data from Candida auris and related species to identify genomic features associated with drug resistance, mating potential, and virulence.
