Candida auris is a multidrug-resistant yeast that has been found in multiple countries, including the United States. C. auris can cause invasive infections, be passed from person to person, and persist in the environment. Its severity, communicability, and drug resistance makes correctly identifying C. auris crucial to treating patients and preventing infections. However, this is challenging because traditional phenotypic methods frequently misidentify C. auris. This algorithm details the steps needed to determPlease note that these algorithms are based on our current knowledge about misidentification of C.auris and may change as we learn new information.ine the correct Candida spp. based on the tests and equipment available in your lab.
