Abstract

The multidrug resistant pathogen Candida auris has caused significant global concern since its discovery in 2009. Limited and contradictory data regarding growth and morphology make the categorization of C. auris isolates difficult. Thus, there is a need to define C. auris growth. Twenty geographically different clinical isolates from the CDC were grown in defined and complex media at varying temperatures. C. auris isolates displayed four distinct growth phenotypes depending on the medium with limited temperature dependence.
