dc.description.abstractPurpose: Candida auris is increasingly being isolated from patients all over the world. It has five clades. In this study, it was aimed to compare the results of biochemical tests obtained using different methods and the antifungal susceptibility profiles of C. auris strains isolated from the first seven cases reported in Türkiye, and evaluate whether this information could be useful as preliminary data in determining the clade of strains in centers that lack the opportunity to apply molecular methods. Methods: Identification test results obtained using API ID 32 C, API 20 C AUX, VITEK-2 YST, and MALDI-TOF MS; colony color and morphology on Chromagar Candida, CHROMagar Candida Plus media, and cornmeal-Tween 80 agar; susceptibility to antifungals were tested and compared. Antifungal susceptibility test was studied using microdilution method according to the recommendations of EUCAST. Additionally, a pilot study was conducted to investigate the value of CHROMagar Candida Plus. Results: All seven strains were identified as Lachancea kluyveri with API ID 32 C, Rhodotorula glutinis; Cryptococcus neoformans with API 20 C AUX, and C. auris with both VITEK-2 YST and MALDI-TOF MS. MIC values for fluconazole were very high (≥64 mg/L) for all seven strains. It was observed that 11 (37.9%) of 29 Candida parapsilosis strains formed colonies with morphology similar to C. auris on CHROMagar Candida Plus medium, leading to false positivity. Conclusions: Although there have been many isolations of C. auris in our country in recent years, clade distribution of only a small number of strains is known yet. In this study, when the biochemical properties and antifungal susceptibility profiles of the seven strains were evaluated, it was concluded that they exhibited some characteristics compatible with clade I. It was also observed that strains 1 and 2 may belong to a different clade.en_US
