Exploring Candida auris in its habitat [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2021 Candida auris colonizes human skin and causes life-threatening fungal bloodstream infections. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Huang et al. introduce a murine model of C. auris skin colonization to explore the role of distinct clades, immune signaling pathways, antibiotics, and disinfectants on fungal persistence in or clearance from its habitat.

A Synthetic β‐Mannan Epitope Enables Immunization and Detection of Candida auris
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A synthetic β‐mannan epitope enables both active and passive immunization against Candida auris. Conjugation to the carrier protein CRM197 induces protective antibody responses, while monoclonal antibodies targeting the same epitope support detection using a lateral flow assay, linking glycochemistry with antifungal prevention and diagnostics ...
