Herein, we report the first case of C. auris in Portugal, which was associated with a patient transferred from Angola to an ICU in Portugal for liver transplantation after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. C. auris was isolated during the course of bronchoalveolar lavage, and it was subjected to antifungal susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequence analysis. This isolate presents low susceptibility to azoles and belongs to the genetic clade III with a phylogenetic placement close to African isolates. Although clade III has already been reported in Europe, taking into account the patient’s clinical history, we cannot discard the possibility that the patient’s colonization/infection occurred in Angola, prior to admission in the Portuguese hospital. Considering that C. auris is a fungal pathogen referenced by WHO as a critical priority, this case reinforces the need for continuous surveillance in a hospital settingThis work was supported by funding from the European Union EU4Health Programme under grant agreement no. 101113460 (GENEO) and by national funds through the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), I.P., under Individual CEEC 2022.00851.CEECIND/CP1748/CT0001.MDPIRepositório Científico do Instituto Nacional de SaúdeHenriques, JoãoMixão, VerónicaCabrita, JoanaDuarte, Tiago IsidoroSequeira, TâniaCardoso, SofiaGermano, NunoDias, LilianaBento, LuísDuarte, SílviaVeríssimo, CristinaGomes, João PauloSabino, Raquel2024-02-14T09:23:29Z2023-08-092023-08-09T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/9095engJ Fungi (Basel). 2023 Aug 9;9(8):837. doi: 10.3390/jof9080837.2309-608X10.3390/jof9080837info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-17T01:31:14Zoai:repositorio.insa.pt:10400.18/9095Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:38:33.785819Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
