Description:

In June 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) alerted healthcare providers and laboratories in the United States to be aware of a new disease threat―Candida auris, a globally emerging, multidrug-resistant fungus. C. auris causes serious and often fatal infections, and it can strike people in the very place they seek care―healthcare facilities, including hospitals, nursing homes, and other clinical settings. However, C. auris can be challenging to identify. Standard laboratory tests sometimes misidentify it as another yeast, but advanced molecular detection (AMD) can pinpoint this fungus and provide information to help us understand how it is evolving and spreading.
