Candida auris has rapidly emerged as a health care-associated and multidrug-resistant pathogen of global concern. In this work, we examined the relative expression of the fourC. auris genes with the highest degree of homology toCandida albicans CDR1 andMDR1 among three triazole-resistant clinical isolates as compared to the triazole-susceptible genome reference clinical isolate.
