Abstract:Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant
fungal pathogen. With high mortality rates, there is an urgent need
for new antifungals to combat C. auris. Possible antifungal targets include Cu-only superoxide dismutases
(SODs), extracellular SODs that are unique to fungi and effectively
combat the superoxide burst of host immunity. Cu-only SODs are essential
for the virulence of diverse fungal pathogens; however, little is
understood about these enzymes in C. auris
. We show here that C. auris secretes an e… Show more
