Conserved Role for Biofilm Matrix Polysaccharides in Candida auris Drug Resistance

mSphere, 2019
Candida auris has emerged as an outbreak pathogen associated with high mortality. Biofilm formation and linked drug resistance are common among Candida species. Drug sequestration by the biofilm matrix accounts for much of the antifungal tolerance.
