As is the case globally, Cryptococcus gattii is a less frequent cause of cryptococcosis than Cryptococcus neoformans in South Africa. We performed multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and fluconazole susceptibility testing of 146 isolates randomly selec

Candida auris was first detected at a university-affiliated hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2009. We used whole-genome sequencing to describe the molecular epidemiology of C. auris in the same hospital during 2016–2020; the neonatal unit

One third of patients were colonized by Candida auris during a point-prevalence survey in a neonatal unit during an outbreak in South Africa. The sensitivity of a direct PCR for rapid colonization detection was 44% compared with culture. The infectio

In South Africa, Candida auris was the third most common cause of candidemia in 2016–2017. We performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genome-wide analysis of 115 C. auris isolates collected between 2009 and 2018 from national laboratory-base
