Comparison of (A) planktonic growth curves and (B) the calculated area under curve for Candida auris isolates (Table 1) and C. albicans (SC5314) reference strain used as a control. Planktonic cells were incubated, and absorbances were taken at 18, 24, 40, and 48 h to illustrate the distinct growth profiles of each species/isolate/strain. The integrated cumulative growth over the entire time period was assessed by calculating the area under the curve and compared with the MMC1 strain. Dashed lines represent the average growth for all the C. auris strains. Analyses were performed with biological triplicates with two technical replicates each.
