Panel:   Candida auris (CAU)
AR Bank # 0388 Candida auris
Study ID: CAU-08

Biosample Accession #: SAMN05379577

   
Isolate Characteristics: Clade: I

MICs obtained by broth microdilution. Modal MIC is reported.

 

MIC results for each antifungal agent for an isolate may commonly be ± 2 log 2 (doubling dilution) different than what is posted on the CDC & FDA AR Isolate Bank website because this is the normal technical variability of antifungal susceptibility testing (for details, see M60 CLSI M27-ED4:2017 Reference Method for Broth Dilution Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts).

Propagation
MEDIUM
Medium: Sabouraud Dextrose agar (SDA)

GROWTH CONDITIONS
Temperature: 30°C
Atmosphere: Aerobic

PROPAGATION PROCEDURE

Remove the sample vial to a container with dry ice or a freezer block. Keep vial on ice or block. (Do not let vial content thaw)

Open vial aseptically to avoid contamination

Using a sterile loop, remove a small amount of frozen isolate from the top of the vial

Aseptically transfer the loop to SDA

Use streak plate method to isolate single colonies

Incubate inverted plate at 30°C for 48 hrs.


Note: Candida spp. stocks are stable at room temperature for several years.
