Host–pathogen interactions upon Candida auris infection: fungal behaviour and immune response in Galleria mellonella

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Candida auris has globally emerged as a multidrug-resistant fungus linked to healthcare-associated outbreaks. There is still limited evidence on its virulence, pathogenicity determinants, and complex host–pathogen interactions. This study analyzes the in

Diagnostic Performance of Direct PCR Assay for Candida auris Detection: A Comparison of Liquid Amies Transport Medium and Fungal Enrichment Broth

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 17, September 2026.
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.

Clinically Important Emerging and Uncommon Fungal Pathogens in Asia: Epidemiology, Antifungal Resistance and Challenges in Diagnosis and Management

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections in Asia are influenced by warm, humid climates, high population density and expanding healthcare systems, which together facilitate the emergence, transmission and detection of both common and rare pathogens. While Candida and Aspergillus species remain the leading causes of invasive fungal disease, increasing attention has ...
