Candida auris is a recently emerged yeast pathogen of humans causing severe hospital-acquired systemic infections. It is of the utmost importance to understand the genetic and cellular basis of its virulence and pathogenicity. In a recent study, Santana and O'Meara generated forward and reverse genetic tools to manipulate C. auris.
Keywords: Candida auris; cellular morphogenesis; genetic manipulation.
