Candida auris has become a global public health threat due to its multidrug resistance and persistence. Currently, there are limited murine models to study C. auris infection. Those models use a combination of cyclophosphamide and cortisone acetate, suppressing both innate and adaptive immunity. Here, we compare C. auris infection in two neutrophil-depleted murine models in which innate immunity is targeted using the monoclonal antibodies 1A8 and RB6-8C5.
