Candida auris antifungal resistance, virulence and susceptibility to a novel nitric oxide-releasing microparticle and its correlations to clade identification

C. auris is divided into 6 biogeographic clades, and there is a correlation between the clades and resistance against antifungals. In this project, 8 strains of C. auris isolated in the Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx were analyzed to assess their clade and common molecular determinants of antifungal resistance.
