Article Synopsis
- This study examined the spread and drug resistance of Candida auris, a harmful yeast, among severely ill COVID-19 patients in Qatar, using genomic sequencing of 76 clinical isolates.
- Findings showed that over 70% of the isolates were resistant to key antifungal drugs and revealed limited genetic diversity, indicating a widespread clonal outbreak in healthcare facilities.
- Notable mutations linked to drug resistance were identified in the isolates, including those affecting susceptibility to commonly used antifungals, highlighting the growing challenge of treating infections caused by this pathogen.
Molecular characterization of clinical carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales from Qatar.
