Candida auris cells form giant lipid droplets to survive in harsh environments
Abstract The emerging fungal pathogen Candida auris is notorious for environmental persistence, which is a major contributor to outbreaks in healthcare settings. Here we report that giant lipid droplets (gLDs) inside C. auris cells play critical roles in the ability to survive harsh environments. C....
