Since emerging in 2009, this pathogen has been associated with numerous outbreaks around the world.

Seven isolates were sent to the US CDC for whole genome sequencing. None of the patients had bloodstream infection. Thirty\u2010day mortality was higher in infected patients compared with those who were colonised. Seven of the eight isolates were resistant to both fluconazole, and five were resistant to amphotericin B. WGS analysis demonstrated that the seven isolates belonged to the South Asian clade but formed two distinct subclades suggesting two independent introductions and ongoing transmission within the facility.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>Candida auris<\/jats:italic> is associated with a high mortality rate in infected patients.
