THE USE OF WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING AND DEVELOPMENT OF BIOINFORMATICS TO MONITOR OVERLAPPING OUTBREAKS OF CANDIDA AURIS IN SOUTHERN NEVADA

The use of whole-genome sequencing and development of bioinformatics to monitor overlapping outbreaks of Candida auris in southern Nevada

A Candida auris outbreak has been ongoing in Southern Nevada since August 2021.In this manuscript we describe the sequencing of over 200 C.auris isolates from patients at several facilities.Genetically distinct subgroups of C.auris were detected from Clade here I (3 distinct lineages) and III (1 lineage).Open-source bioinformatic tools were develop
