Abstract in brief

  • Candida auris is a newly identified yeast species found in the ear canal of a hospital patient in Japan, and it belongs to the genus Candida.
  • Genetic and chemotaxonomic analyses show that this species is closely related to Candida ruelliae and Candida haemulonii, and it is part of the Metschnikowiaceae family.
  • The yeast grows well at 40°C but has limited growth at 42°C, and the type strains are designated as JCM15448T, CBS10913T, and DSM21092T.]

@DrNeilStone Auris, like in aural (pertaining to the ear). The site from which it was isolated and identified in the first human case from Japan in 2005. https://t.co/0HVWehv9kN
