BACKGROUND: Candida (Candidozyma) auris has distinct genetic clades. Clade distinction is relevant for infection control and epidemiological purposes. State-of-the-art typing methodologies for clade distinction are based on genomic approaches, such as short tandem repeat (STR) analysis and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). However, they are time-consuming and expensive. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) is an alternative tool for strain typing based on their unique biochemical spectral profiles.
OBJECTIVES: To apply FT-IR to differentiate C. auris clades and evaluate epidemiological relationships based on biochemical data among isolates from a multicenter C. auris outbreak in the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil.
METHODS: Sixty-nine C. auris strains from clades I, II, III, and IV were analysed. Fifty-nine were clade IV strains obtained from three outbreaks that took place in Pernambuco state, northeastern Brazil. An adjusted FT-IR spectroscopy protocol was applied to obtain carbohydrates and lipid fingerprints. Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis was used in order to validate the spectroscopy approach.
RESULTS: The adjusted preparation protocol for FT-IR analysis improved the spectral quality by 31.42% compared to standard protocol. FT-IR allowed us to discriminate C. auris clades I to IV. Moreover, important similarities were observed in C. auris clade IV strains obtained from two of the three hospitals, based on polysaccharides (1300-800 cm-1) plus lipids (3000-2800 cm-1 and 1500-1400 cm-1) spectra. STR confirmed the similarity results obtained by FT-IR, clustering the strains from two different hospitals.
CONCLUSIONS: The IR Biotyper is fast, easy-to-use, and a promising alternative for moderate-to-high-complexity laboratories to differentiate C. auris clades. Furthermore, this technique has the potential for isolate-level source tracking, which could be valuable for monitoring transmission routes in clinical settings.
