UnverifiedContext
"We were surprised to find that surviving cells had made multiple copies of their entire genome. This is a trick that other fungi have used in the past, but not one that is well known in C. auris. In fact, there were two populations, some growing slowly, others growing more rapidly. We call it 'bet-hedging' when a bug uses multiple tactics to increase its chances of developing resistance and evading treatment."
