These studies suggest thatC. aurisemerged before 2009; however, the rapid global spread occurred afterward. By 2018, there were cases reported in the United States, Canada, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Russia, Indi...
Identification of a Phenylthiazole Small Molecule with Dual Antifungal and Antibiofilm Activity Against Candida albicans and Candida auris Article Open access 12 December 2019 Introduction Fungal pathogens have an astounding, but greatly under-appreciated impact on human health worldwide, causing over a ...
The rise in antimicrobial resistance has become a major threat to public health1. Although the focus has primarily been on pan-resistant bacteria, there is growing concern over the multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen,Candida auris. This emerging pathogen has galvanized researchers, health care workers,...
auris has a highly diver- gent genome. Analysis using C. albicans as a reference genome revealed a set of orthologs such as drug trans- porters, oligopeptide transporters, secreted proteinases and mannosyl transferases which may play a role in virulence and drug resistance. However most of the ...
2. Sudden simultaneous emergence of Candida auris infections in separate global regions Candida species are well-known yeasts that can cause a variety of cutaneous and invasive infections; however, they had never been considered a serious global health threat until the recent emergence of Candida auri...

in both Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interferon (IFN) signaling cascades that is activated in response to differentCandidaspecies (C. albicans,C. auris,C. glabrata,C. parapsilosis, andC. tropicalis). Among these molecules are several types I IFN, indicating an overlap with antiviral immune ...
auris metabolic activities as a step forward to understand its virulence mechanisms. Keywords: Candida auris; metabolic profiling; GC-MS; morphogenesis; hyphae; yeast 1. Introduction Candida species, in particular C. albicans, are responsible for most fungal infections in humans. Although Candida ...
auris continues to grow, underscoring the pathogen’s ability to traverse borders and establish itself as a global health challenge. C. glabrata is the second most prevalent species in the USA, north-western Europe, and Canada, especially among elderly patients and organ transplant patients. In ...
