Prevalence Rates, Species Distribution and Antifungal Susceptibility of Rare Candida and Related Saccharomycotina Yeasts Causing Bloodstream Infections in 28 Medical Centres

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background There is a lack of contemporary studies addressing the prevalence rates and antifungal susceptibility of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by rare yeasts (RY) from the Saccharomycotina subphylum. Objectives This 16‐year multicentre study (2007–2023) aimed to assess the prevalence and antifungal susceptibility of rare yeasts ...

Candida auris in the Healthcare Environment: Prevalence, Anti-Fungal Resistance, and Survival on Porous & Non-Porous Surfaces

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant pathogenic yeast capable of causing severe illness in the healthcare environment. It spreads easily amongst patient populations, is often resistant to anti-fungal treatments and can survive on surfaces for

Synergistic Antifungal Effects of Honokiol and Fluconazole Against Oral Candida: Implications for Managing Drug‐Resistant Infections

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Antifungal drug resistance poses a major challenge in treating oral Candida infections. This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Honokiol, alone and combined with Fluconazole, against oral Candida isolates, and to investigate its mechanism of action via ergosterol biosynthesis inhibition and cell wall disruption ...

The many faces of Candida auris: Phenotypic and strain variation in an emerging pathogen

PLoS Pathogens
Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen with unusual evolutionary history—there are multiple distinct phylogeographic clades showing a near simultaneous transition from a currently unknown reservoir to nosocomial pathogen.

Tumor Immunotherapy and Microbiome: From Bench‐to‐Bedside Applications

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The microbiome is related to the efficacy of immunotherapy and can be utilized to predict the efficacy and adverse reactions of immunotherapy. Microbiome‐targeted intervention strategies can improve the efficacy of ICI, but necessitating more comprehensive exploration.

Tracing the Evolutionary History and Global Expansion of Candida auris Using Population Genomic Analyses

mBio, 2020
In less than a decade, C. auris has emerged in health care settings worldwide; this species is capable of colonizing skin and causing outbreaks of invasive candidiasis. In contrast to other Candida species, C. auris is unique in its ability to spread via

Profiling the host defense responses against Candida auris in a reliable Drosophila melanogaster infection model

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 51-67, February 2026.
Abstract The “superbug” Candida auris has been ranked as a priority fungal pathogen and is becoming a serious threat to public health. However, the underlying mechanisms of real‐world pathogen–host interactions remain elusive, in part due to the lack of powerful immunocompetent animal models.
