Survival and virulence of Candida auris under selected environmental stress
This dataset presents the results of the evaluation of the potential of Candida auris strains to survive selected environmental stress. Cells of Candida auris strains were exposed to selected environmental stress including environmental UV and low cycling temperature regimes in simulated environments and their survival was quantified by estimating the viability of exposed cells at intervals. The impact of exposure to environmental stress on the virulence of C. auris cells was also evaluated based on their virulence in Galleria mellonella larvae. The impact of pre-exposure to clinical and environmentally relevant temperatures on the susceptibility of C. auris strains to medical and agricultural azoles was also evaluated. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/V005847/1) Full details about this nonGeographicDataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/722e45d2-0034-43ea-a4af-c4bfcc337ef0

This dataset was collected from microcosm experiments to evaluate the potential of Candida auris to survive selected environmental stress. The viability of Candida auris strains was estimated based on their colony-forming units after exposure to environmental UV stress or low cycling temperature. The impact of selected environmental stress on the virulence of Candida auris was also evaluated based on the survival of Galleria mellonella larvae infected with Candida auris cells exposed to selected stress compared to the survival of Galleria mellonella larvae infected with Candida auris cells not exposed to environmental stress. The impact of pre-exposure to different temperatures on the antifungal susceptibility of Candida auris was also evaluated by comparing the colony-forming units of Candida auris cells pre-exposed to different temperatures after treatment with different concentrations of fluconazole or difenoconazole. To ensure the quality of data generated, each experiment inluded at least three replicates and experimental controls.
