Increasing prevalence, molecular characterization and antifungal drug susceptibility of serial Candida auris isolates in Kuwait.

Increasing prevalence, molecular characterization and antifungal drug susceptibility of serial Candida auris isolates in Kuwait.

Candida auris is an emerging yeast pathogen of global significance. Its multidrug-resistant nature and inadequacies of conventional identification systems pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study investigated occurrence of C. auris in clinical specimens in Kuwait and its susceptibility...
