Emergence of Candida auris in Minas Gerais, Brazil: Genomic Surveillance to inform Rapid Public Health Responses.

ABSTRACT: Candida auris poses a significant global health threat due to its multidrug-resistance and outbreak potential. In this study, we report its emergence in Minas Gerais, Brazil, supported by genomic surveillance that identified Clade-IV isolates, suggested a potential introduction from Colombia, and detected a missense mutation associated with azole resistance.
