On conventional media, colony yields of Candida auris collected from dry surfaces drastically underestimate the number of viable cells (Welsh et al, J Clin Microbiol 55, 2996). Improved colony yield is shown on ReCand (left) vs. BD ChromAgar Candida (right). Cells of three C. auris strains (A-C) were dried onto a surface, collected after several days and plated in parallel. Overall survival is < 1%.
