Candida auris has attracted increased clinical attention because of its multiple drug resistance. [6] [7] [4]In vitro, more than 90% of C. auris isolates are resistant to fluconazole [8] [9] and a range of 3–73% of C. auris isolates are resistant to voriconazole, [9] [10] while other triazoles (posaconazole, itraconazole, and isavuconazole) display better activity.
