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

Advancing Yeast Identification Using High‐Throughput DNA Barcode Data From a Curated Culture Collection

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Yeast identification is essential in fields ranging from microbiology and biotechnology to food science and medicine. While DNA barcoding has become the standard for identifying cultured strains, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionised microbial community profiling, providing deeper insights into yeast communities across ...

Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...

A Cross‐Sectional Study to Determine Candida spp. Carriage in Libyan Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The risk for Candida infections in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is three times higher than in the general population. Despite a DM prevalence of 15.8% reported in Libya (2024), the laboratory identification and susceptibility testing of fungal infections in patients with DM are not routinely performed.

From Sound to Silence: Cerebellar Abscesses and Herniation Due to Cochlear Implant Infection With Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cochlear implantation (CI) is a safe and well‐established intervention for sensorineural hearing loss, with a low incidence of severe postoperative infections. We present the first reported case of cerebellar abscess and herniation due to CI infection. This unique case involves a 57‐year‐old man with recurrent cochlear implant infections, necessitating
