Background Candida auris (C. auris) is a fungal pathogen that recently emerged and rapidly spread around the globe. It is now in California with 74 clinical cases according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (August 31, 2020). C. auris can cause invasive disease with high ...
CDC Updates Guidance as SAN DIEGO — The number of cases ofCandida aurisis on the rise in American healthcare facilities, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is asking laboratories to determine the species when a result forCandidais positive andC. aurisis suspected. C. a...
When Candida auris was first spreading, said Meghan Marie Lyman, a CDC medical epidemiologist for the mycotic diseases branch, the cases were linked to people who had traveled to the U.S. from other places. Now, most cases are acquired locally — generally spreading among patients in health c...
In some of cases, C. auris was found on the skin of people; in epidemiological terms, they were “colonized.” In that state, the fungus isn’t causing disease, but people who are colonized can spread the fungus to other patients and may eventually go on to have active infections the...
The rise in antimicrobial resistance has become a major threat to public health1. Although the focus has primarily been on pan-resistant bacteria, there is growing concern over the multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen,Candida auris. This emerging pathogen has galvanized researchers, health care workers...
auris. To fully appreciate the probiotic effects of the yeasts S. cerevisiae and I. occidentalis on C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, C. krusei, and C. parapsilosis, the assays reported in this study were typically performed under three different sets of conditions: preinoculation, where treatment ...

cases might be serious or life-threatening to individuals [4]. Every year, invasive fungal infections kill over a million people around the world [5]. Human fungal diseases are also a major cause of socio-economic burden. So far, several billion dollars have been utilized in combatting fungal...

In some cases, DRAQ7+ macrophage nuclei were not associated with CFW-stained hyphae. This could represent low-level macrophage cell death unrelated to infection (generally <10% of the population). By 4 h, the number of new CFW-stained hyphae increased and then by 6 h they further increased...
