Pathogenicity Assessment of Colombian Strains of <i>Candida auris</i> in the <i>Galleria mellonella</i> Invertebrate Model

Pathogenicity Assessment of Colombian Strains of <i>Candida auris</i> in the <i>Galleria mellonella</i> Invertebrate Model

<i>Candida auris</i>, first described in 2009, is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast that causes nosocomial outbreaks around the world, with high mortality rates associated with therapeutic failure. In this study, we evaluated the pathogenicity of 107 isolates from two cities in Colombia,...
