Emergence of Clade III Candida auris of African Origin in Los Angeles

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Candida auris is an emerging multi-drug resistant yeast responsible for invasive infections among hospitalized patients. We described a case series of C. auris isolated in the Los Angeles area from an ongoing outbreak. Genomic analysis showed a single Clade III lineage of African origin in all 6 cases since 2019.
