Several draft genomes from whole genome sequencing have been published.[1][14] C. auris has a genome size of 12.3–12.5 Mb with a GC-content of 44.5–44.8%.[6][14] The C. auris genome was found to encode several genes for the ABC transporter family, a major facilitator superfamily, which helps to explain its multiple drug resistance.[6] Its genome also encodes virulence-related gene families such as lipases, oligopeptide transporters, mannosyl transferases and transcription factors which facilitate colonization, invasion, and iron acquisition.[6] Another factor contributing to antifungal resistance is the presence of a set of genes known to be involved in biofilm formation.[6]
