Candida auris is a type of fungus that can cause serious infections in humans. It was first identified in 2009 and has since become a global health concern due to its resistance to many antifungal medications. This yeast can be found in healthcare settings, particularly among patients with weakened immune systems. Infections caused by Candida auris can lead to bloodstream infections, wound infections, and ear infections. It spreads easily in hospitals and nursing homes, making it crucial for healthcare facilities to implement strict infection control measures. Early detection and proper treatment are essential to manage this emerging pathogen.
