OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical relevance, origin, transmission, and resistance of Candida auris (C. auris) isolates from two outbreaks and sporadic occurrences from one hospital in China. METHODS: A total of 135 C. auris isolates were collected. Clinical characteristics were obtained and antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) was performed using the method of broth microdilution. Phylogenetic tree, WGS analysis, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were used to determine the origin, transmission, and resistance mechanisms. RESULTS: A total of 31 patients (91.2%, 31/34) received invasive medical procedures and 13 patients (38.2%, 13/34) had antifungal agents before C. auris infection/colonization, except one patient whose clinical information was missing. Only 4 cases of C. auris candidemia were observed. 18 patients died, 13 patients recovered, and the outcomes of 3 patients were not available. A total of 35 C. auris isolates, which were successfully cultivated and the first isolated or harbored specific drug-resistant phenotype from each patient, were selected to be sequenced and further analyzed. C. auris isolates presented low genetic variability and belonged to clade I, possibly originating from BJ004-H7 in Beijing. All 35 isolates were resistant to Fluconazole (FCZ) and amphotericin B (AMB), and 3 isolates were resistant to caspofungin (CAS). Mutations in ERG11 and FKS1 were linked to reduced azole and echinocandin susceptibility, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Two outbreaks of highly clonal, multidrug-resistant C. auris isolates within the medical facility were reported. The intensive performance of disinfection measures helped block in-hospital transmission. Understanding the epidemiology, drug resistance and management of C. auris will be helpful for implementing effective infection control and treatment strategies.
