Short answer

Several possible studies

No clear answer.

More than one paper fits the article's details, and none fits well enough to single out. Checking claims against the wrong study would be worse than not checking them at all.

Checked against the study summary. The full text wasn't available, so some details couldn't be settled either way.

Claim by claim

What the story asserts. With no source study, there is nothing to check these against.

Claim 1 of 7Not checkedA new study revealed an unexpected mechanism through which Candida auris is resisting antifungal drug treatment.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 2 of 7Not checkedResearchers from the University of Exeter and City St George's, University of London found that the fungus creates multiple versions of its entire genome, including mutations in CRZ1, a gene involved in cell wall integrity.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 3 of 7Not checkedThe study is published in Nature Communications and was funded by the Medical Research Council, with support from the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Exeter.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 4 of 7Not checkedStudy authors say the findings unlock a brand new mechanism that allows Candida auris to adapt to antifungal treatment and survive, which could lead to new ways to tackle the fungus.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 5 of 7Not checkedThe researchers say that surviving cells had made multiple copies of the entire genome, and that two populations existed: some growing slowly and others more rapidly.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.

Claim 6 of 7Not checkedFurther tests confirmed the rapid growth of CRZ1 mutants, and that their cell walls appeared to be unaffected by antifungal drugs.View evidenceHide evidence
