Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Artifact Description
Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen that presents as a serious health threat that commonly causes nosocomial blood infections in the immunocompromised. Three distinct factors make this pathogen a global threat. First, it is drug-resistance, some isolates are resistant to more than one class of anti-fungal. Secondly, it causes nosocomial outbreaks and lives on finite for weeks. Third, it is commonly misidentified by diagnostic platforms. Recent research has found that like in other Candida species, biofilm formation maybe a key virulence factor for C. auris. In this study, we compared anti-fungal susceptibility of several C. auris isolates and other related Candida species. Various antifungals were tested against platonic and adhered cells using crystal violet assay. The goal of this study is to see the importance of biofilm formation in C. auris antifungal susceptibility.
