Abstract
Identification of Candida auris is challenging and requires molecular or protein profiling-based approaches, availability of which is limited in many routine diagnostic laboratories, necessitating the development of a cost-effective, rapid, and reliable method of identification. The objective of this study was to develop a selective medium for C. auris identification.
