Candida auris: a comparison between planktonic and biofilm susceptibility to antifungal drugs.

abstract：PURPOSE:We examined evidence for transmission of Pandorea apista among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients attending paediatric and adult services in one city who had previously been found to harbour related isolates by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). METHODOLOGY:The whole-genome sequences of 18 isolates from this ...
