Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Veterinary Infectious Diseases
  • Antimicrobial Resistance

Background:

  • Candida auris is a significant global health concern due to its antifungal resistance.
  • While fungi are known animal pathogens, the role of C. auris in animal health is largely unknown.
  • Emerging infectious diseases necessitate understanding potential reservoirs and transmission dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the presence and prevalence of Candida auris in domestic dogs.
  • To explore the potential role of dogs as a reservoir for C. auris.
  • To analyze C. auris strains isolated from dogs for genetic relatedness to known clinical strains.

Main Methods:

  • Microbial cultures and fungal meta-barcode sequencing were performed on skin and ear swabs from 87 dogs in Delhi.
  • Fungal sequencing focused on dogs with confirmed otitis externa (OE).
  • Whole-genome sequencing was used to analyze C. auris strains isolated from canine samples.

Main Results:

  • Candida auris was detected in 4.5% (4/87) of dogs with chronic skin infections.
  • Infection/colonization was found in the ear canals of 3 dogs and on the skin surface of 1 dog.
  • Whole-genome sequencing revealed that canine-derived C. auris strains were related to Clade I clinical strains.

Conclusions:

  • This study reports the first isolation of Candida auris from a canine source.
  • Dogs may serve as a potential reservoir for C. auris, contributing to its public health threat.
  • Further research is crucial to determine transmission routes between humans and dogs and the clinical significance of canine C. auris.
