auris from blood, and 8 of them died within 7 days. Factors associated with mortality are mentioned in Table 3. Among the 30 cases of central line-associated candidemia, 24 had their central line promptly removed (median time from detection to removal- 2 days). Among these patients, 16...
auris hog1Δ cells revealed multiple roles for this SAPK in stress resistance, cell morphology, aggregation, and virulence. These data demonstrate that C. auris has a unique stress resistance profile compared to those of other pathogenic Candida species and that the Hog1 SAPK has pleiotropic roles...
it has been spreading rapidly throughout the world with hundreds of thousands of individual cases or outbreaks4. One of the most important features aboutC. aurisis that 90% of clinically isolated strains exhibit resistance to fluconazole, and some strains are resistant to all currently available an...
