ABSTRACT
Candida auris spreads person to person in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The heightened capacity for C. auris to colonize skin contributes to the difficulty in eradicating this drug-resistant and deadly pathogen in nosocomial settings. Models for the study of C. auris skin colonization are critical for understanding this virulence trait. In light of the similarities between the skin properties of humans and pigs, pigs represent an ideal model for the investigation of skin-C. auris interactions. Here, we describe how to utilize porcine skin for ex vivo studies of C. auris colonization.
