Candidozyma auris: Identification, antifungal susceptibility, and caspofungin-induced paradoxical growth
In our study, it was observed that CHROMagar™ Candida Plus can be used as a screening method for the identification of C. auris in hospitals without access to MALDI-TOF MS. Incompatibility was detected in antifungal susceptibility testing, and the rates of major error (ME) and very major error (VME) were found to be high. For caspofungin, the high dilution range in the SYO method was determined which also detected the Eagle effect.
