5. Candida auris (C. auris)

During 2018 and 2020 there were only two reports of C. auris, both of which

were isolated from blood and pus samples. The MICs against six (6) antifungal
agents are shown in Table 5.1. This data need be interpreted with caution since

there is a limited number of isolates.
