Candida Auris, a Deadly Fungus, Spreaded Rapidly During Pandemic, Says CDC
Summary by NewsWall Mar 22 23
- According to a new research paper, Candida auris, a drug-resistant fungus that health officials hoped to contain, is now present in more than half of the 50 states.
- C. auris was first identified in the United States in 2016, most notably in New York and Illinois, where public health officials hoped to contain it through stringent screening and infection control in long-term care facilities and nursing homes.
- The coronavirus pandemic is likely to have exacerbated the spread of C. auris, according to C.D.C. officials.
- C. auris can also attach itself to ventilators and other medical devices.
