Description

Candida auris is resistant to multiple antifungal agents. This study investigated its antifungal susceptibility and explored FKS1 mutations across the isolates from mice enterically colonized with wild-type C. auris and treated with echinocandin. Resistant C. auris with FKS1 mutations, including S639F, S639Y, D642Y, R1354H, or R1354Y, were isolated and found to be micafungin- and caspofungin-resistant in vivo; however, the MICs of isolates with mutation in R1354 remained below the micafungin breakpoint in vitro.
