Molecular characterisation of <i>Candida auris</i> isolates from immunocompromised patients in a tertiary‐care hospital in Kuwait reveals a novel mutation in <i>FKS1</i> conferring reduced susceptibility to echinocandins

Abstract

Our findings describe development of a novel mutation in FKS1 conferring reduced susceptibility to echinocandins in one patient during treatment and unfavourable clinical outcome for many C auris-infected patients.
