The phylogenetic diversity of the yeast is clustered in five major clades, among which clade III is particularly relevant, as most of its strains exhibit resistance to fluconazole, reducing the therapeutic alternatives and provoking outbreaks that are difficult to control. In this study, we have investigated the phylogenetic structure of clade III by analyzing a global collection of 566 genomes. We have identified three subgroups within clade III, among which two are genetically most closely related. Moreover, we have estimated the evolutionary rate of clade III to be 2.25e-7 s\/s\/y (2.87 changes per year). We found that one of these subgroups shows intrinsic resistance to fluconazole and is responsible for the majority of cases within this clade globally. We inferred that this subgroup may have originated around December 2010 (95% High Probability Density (HPD): April 2010\u2013June 2011), and since then it has spread across continents, generating multiple large outbreaks, each with a unique pattern of transmission and dissemination. These results highlight the remarkable ability of the pathogen to adapt to its environment and its rapid global spread, underscoring the urgent need to address this epidemiological challenge effectively.\n            <\/jats:p>\n            <jats:sec>\n              <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n              <jats:p>\n                The number of cases affected by\n                <jats:italic>Candida auris<\/jats:italic>\n                has increased worryingly worldwide. Among the currently recognized clades, clade III has the highest proportion of fluconazole-resistant cases and is spreading very rapidly, causing large nosocomial outbreaks across the globe. By analyzing complete fungal genomes from around the world, we have confirmed the origin of this clade and unraveled its dispersal patterns in the early 2010s. This finding provides knowledge that may be helpful to the public health authorities for the control of the disease.\n              <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/mbio.03164-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]],"date-time":"2024-12-27T14:00:21Z","timestamp":1735308021000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Short-term evolution and dispersal patterns of fluconazole-resistance in\n            <i>Candida auris<\/i>\n            clade III"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5261-1634","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irving","family":"Cancino-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad Mixta Infecci\u00f3n y Salud P\u00fablica FISABIO-Universidad de Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]},{"name":"Instituto de Biolog\u00eda Integrativa de Sistemas, I2SysBio (CSIC-UV)","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0678-9068","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Juan Vicente","family":"Mulet-Bayona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Microbiolog\u00eda y Parasitolog\u00eda, Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8577-5934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carme","family":"Salvador-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Microbiolog\u00eda y Parasitolog\u00eda, Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4514-7730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuria","family":"Tormo-Palop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Microbiolog\u00eda y Parasitolog\u00eda, Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Remedios","family":"Guna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Microbiolog\u00eda y Parasitolog\u00eda, Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3778-5337","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Concepci\u00f3n","family":"Gimeno-Cardona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Microbiolog\u00eda y Parasitolog\u00eda, Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0879-5798","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fernando","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Candelas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad Mixta Infecci\u00f3n y Salud P\u00fablica FISABIO-Universidad de Valencia","place":["Valencia, Spain"]},{"name":"Instituto de Biolog\u00eda Integrativa de Sistemas, I2SysBio (CSIC-UV)","place":["Valencia, Spain"]},{"name":"CIBER en Epidemiolog\u00eda y Salud P\u00fablica, ISCIII","place":["Madrid, Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.ppat.1008921"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.ppat.1011268"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/jmm.0.001318"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/mBio.03364-19"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/22221751.2021.1934557"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.13626"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-018-07779-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","unstructured":"WHO. 2022.
