Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.This study evaluated a direct PCR assay for rapid Candida auris screening from skin swabs using two transport media. The direct PCR assay demonstrated high sensitivity (92.0%–96.0%) and rapid turnaround time (~3 h). Liquid Amies medium showed a more favorable specificity profile, supporting its practical utility for screening.

Identification of Drug Resistant Candida auris [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Candida auris is a multidrug resistant yeast, recognized as a cause of invasive infections and health care associated outbreaks around the world. C. auris is of great public health concern, due to its propensity for drug resistance, mode and pace of its transmission, and the possibility that biologic and epidemiologic factors could exacerbate worldwide

Yeast, EarlyView.ABSTRACT All organisms must be able to sense and respond to adverse environments, especially those that threaten cellular integrity. The age of genomics clarified the breadth and specificity of cellular stress responses, including in free‐living microbes directly exposed to a changing environment.

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.

An Update on Invasive Fungal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a significant infection‐related complication in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs), the incidence of which has not changed overtime. With a focus on studies and data published after 2019, this narrative review provides an update on the epidemiology and prevention of IFIs in SOTRs and highlights ...
