Comparative assessment of in vitro growth of 10 C. auris and 3 C. albicans isolates. (a) In vitro growth of C. auris AR-0381–AR-0390 and three clinical C. albicans isolates was assessed by turbidity measurement as described in the Materials and methods section. Mean OD₆₉₀ values based on three replicates (+SD) after 24 and 48 h of incubation are provided. (b) Comparison of OD₆₉₀ values depending on the geographical clade of the 10 C. auris isolates. One East Asian, five South Asian, two African and two South American isolates (Table S1) were assessed. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test was used for significance testing. (c) OD₆₉₀ values of five non-aggregating and five aggregating C. auris isolates (Table S1) were compared. The unpaired, two-sided t-test was used for significance testing. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001.
