Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast first described in 2009, belonging to the family Metschnikowiaceae within the phylum Ascomycota. It causes healthcare-associated outbreaks of invasive candidiasis with high mortality, persists on skin and environmental surfaces, and is often resistant to fluconazole, amphotericin B, and sometimes echinocandins. Genomic analyses have revealed at least five distinct phylogeographic clades that emerged independently across continents, with relatively compact genomes harbouring clade-specific antifungal resistance mutations and virulence factor repertoires.

How to read this: A value outside a failure limit fails QC. Within the failure limits, values beyond a warning limit are borderline and worth a manual look; values within the warning limits pass that criterion. A dash means that no bound is defined on that side.
