Maximum likelihood tree of C. auris strains, obtained using IQ-tree version 1.4.4 (best-fit model TVMe + ASC). The data set included a total of 45 single nucleotide substitution sites for 129 C. auris isolates. Bootstrap values calculated using 10,000 reiterations are shown. Four clusters were identified, from top to bottom: South Asia clade (clade I, Pakistan + India, highlighted in yellow), South Africa clade (clade III, highlighted in green), East Asia clade (clade II, Japan, one sequence), and South America clade (clade IV, Colombia + Venezuela, 86 sequences). The rooting is without outgroup and only for display purposes; the branch lengths show the large number of mutations separating the Colombia-Venezuela clade from all other isolates.
