Different efficacies of common disinfection methods against candida auris and other candida species
Background: Candida auris can form long-lasting colonies in the hospital environment and on human skin. There is limited evidence regarding the efficacy of different methods and products for disinfecting hospitals and colonized patients to prevent the ...

Transcriptome assembly and profiling of Candida auris reveals novel insights into biofilm-mediated resistance [PDF]
Candida auris has emerged as a significant global nosocomial pathogen. This is primarily due to its antifungal resistance profile but also its capacity to form adherent biofilm communities on a range of clinically important substrates.

Performance of Two Novel Chromogenic Media for the Identification of Multidrug-Resistant Candida auris Compared with Other Commercially Available Formulations [PDF]
Non-albicans Candida species are emerging in the nosocomial environment, with the multidrug-resistant (MDR) species Candida auris being the most notorious example. Consequently, rapid and accurate species identification has become essential.

Exploring Candida auris in its habitat [PDF]
Candida auris colonizes human skin and causes life-threatening fungal bloodstream infections. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Huang et al. introduce a murine model of C. auris skin colonization to explore the role of distinct clades, immune signaling pathways, antibiotics, and disinfectants on fungal persistence in or clearance from its habitat.

Candida auris: What Have We Learned About Its Mechanisms of Pathogenicity?
Candida auris has emerged globally as a multidrug-resistant (MDR) medical care-associated fungal pathogen. Recent reports have demonstrated that C. auris usually expresses fewer virulence factors than does Candida albicans.

Testing to Detect Candida auris Colonisation After Intrahospital Transfer From an Endemic Area, a Prospective Observational Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Current international guidelines lack clear recommendations on the management of non‐colonised patients undergoing intra‐hospital transfer from the ward in which horizontal transmission of Candida auris is known to occur (defined as endemic for Candida auris) to wards with no horizontal transmission detected (defined as non‐endemic ...

Gaining insights from Candida biofilm heterogeneity: one size does not fit all [PDF]
Despite their clinical significance and substantial human health burden, fungal infections remain relatively under-appreciated. The widespread overuse of antibiotics and the increasing requirement for indwelling medical devices provides an opportunistic ...
