Phylogenetic tree depicting clade distribution and fluconazole resistance mutations of 188 invasive or colonizing South African Candida auris strains isolated from patients admitted to a large metropolitan hospital in South Africa, 2016–2020. The unrooted maximum-parsimony tree was created using MEGA software (https://www.megasoftware.net) using 287,338 single-nucleotide polymorphisms based on 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Scale bar indicates number of pairwise differences. FCZ, fluconazole.
