“…Interpretation: The discovery of a new C auris clade in Singapore and Bangladesh in the Indomalayan zone, showing a close relationship to clade IV members most commonly found in South America, highlights the unknown genetic diversity and origin of C auris, particularly in under-resourced regions. Active surveillance in clinical settings, along with effective sequencing strategies and downstream analysis, will be essential in the identification of novel strains, tracking of transmission, and containment of adverse clinical effects of C auris infections.…”
