*NA, not available. †MICs for azoles and echinocandins are defined as the lowest drug concentration that caused 50% growth inhibition compared with the drug-free controls; MICs for amphotericin B and flucytosine are defined as the lowest concentration at which there was 100% growth inhibition. MIC50 was defined as the MIC at which >50% of the isolates of C. auris tested were inhibited.
