Survival curves of G. mellonella (a) and C. elegans (b) infected with C. auris oropharyngeal isolates. Larvae of G. mellonella were infected with 1 × 106 cells/larva and the control groups used were a group of untouched larvae and larvae inoculated with PBS and ampicillin (PBS+amp) as a puncture (sham) control group. C. elegans worms were infected by C. auris cell ingestion for 2 h. c) Survival percentages at 120 hours post-infection of G. mellonella and C. elegans infected with C. auris oropharyngeal isolates. The C. auris isolates were sorted from highest to lowest survival percentages of C. elegans.
