Despite advancements in strain typing for various infectious diseases, a consensus on the genetic relatedness threshold for identifying\n              <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n              transmission in local hospital outbreaks remains elusive. We investigated genetic variations within our local isolate collection using whole-genome-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) phylogenetic analysis. A total of 74\n              <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>\n              .\n              <jats:italic>auris<\/jats:italic>\n              isolates were subjected to whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and SNP phylogenetic analysis via the QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench. Isolates included known related strains from the same patient, strains from different hospitals, strains from our hospital patients with no epidemiological link, and 19 patient isolates from a recent\n              <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n              outbreak. All but three isolates were identified to be Clade IV. By examining the genetic diversities of\n              <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n              within patients and between patients, we identified a SNP variation range of 0\u201313 for identifying related isolates. During an outbreak investigation, utilizing this range, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis revealed two distinct clusters that aligned with the epidemiological links. Determining a SNP variation range to delineate genetic relatedness among isolates is crucial for the application of WGS and SNP phylogenetic analysis in identifying\n              <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n              transmission during hospital outbreak investigations. The use of WGS SNP phylogenetic analysis via the CLC Genomics Workbench has emerged as a valuable method for typing\n              <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n              in clinical microbiology laboratories.\n            <\/jats:p>\n
