Whole genome sequencing and analyses of isolates from Pakistan, India, South Africa, Venezuela, Japan, and previously sequenced C. auris genomes deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Sequence Read Archive[16] identified a distinct geographic distribution of genotypes.[8] Four distinct clades separated by tens of thousands of single-nucleotide polymorphisms were identified.[8] The distribution of these clades segregated geographically to South Asia (India and Pakistan), South Africa, Venezuela, and Japan with minimal observed intraregion genetic diversity.[8]
