Conserved Role for Biofilm Matrix Polysaccharides in Candida auris Drug Resistance

Conserved Role for Biofilm Matrix Polysaccharides in Candida auris Drug Resistance

Candida auris is an emerging fungal threat linked to poor patient outcomes. The factors responsible for this apparent increase in pathogenicity remain largely unknown. Biofilm formation has been suggested as an important factor for persistence of this organism in patients and the environment. Our fi...
