Depletion of the microbiota has minimal impact on C. auris infection. (A–K) Fungal organ burden in germ-free and microbiota-depleted mice infected by i.v. and gavage with 10⁷ cells of C. auris routes. Organ fungal burden is measured in CFU/g in tissues, 5 days post infection, n = 5 mice per group. A nonparametric one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a Kruskal–Wallis test, followed by an uncorrected Dunn’s multiple comparison test, was carried out using ns p > 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, and **** p ≤ 0.0001.
