Thirteen cases of fungal infection byCandidaaurishave been identified in the United States since 2013, according to an articlepublished onlineNovember 4 inMorbidity and Mortality Weekly Report(MMWR).C aurisinfections are potentially lethal. The infection was first identified in 2009 in the external ear...

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...
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...
Introduction. Candida auris is a relatively novel pathogen first described in 2009 in Japan. It has increased its presence worldwide, becoming a public health concern due to its innate resistance to ...
C. parapsilosis differs remarkably from other Candida species as these fungi may form biofilms, especially on central venous catheters (CVC) and other medical implants, leading to various challenges in the management of diseases (Tóth et al., 2019). C. auris, known for its persistence, high ...
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...
