title: Biofilm-Forming Capability of Highly Virulent, Multidrug-Resistant Candida auris.
abstract: The emerging multidrug-resistant yeast pathogen Candida auris has attracted considerable attention as a source of healthcare-associated infections. We report that this highly virulent yeast has the capacity to form antifungal resistant biofilms sensitive to the disinfectant chlorhexidine in vitro.
