A method of disinfecting Candida auris is disclosed including treating a surface with a solution comprising 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid ethyl ester. The solution may further include protocatechuic acid. The solution may include an alcohol. The alcohol may include methanol, ethanol, or isopropyl alcohol....
5. Describe the hierarchy of pathogens for choosing a disinfectant 6. Describe the environmental cleaning practices for eradication of Candida auris and appropriate infection prevention practices for the healthcare setting 7. Outline the CDC recommendation for notifying public health partners ...
The association of silver nanoparticles (AgNps) to sealant agent Palaseal®can be a promising alternative for complete denture wearers who may develop denture stomatitis (DS). The study aimed to evaluate the anti-Candidaand biocompatible potential of silver nanoparticles synthesized by three routes a...
RESISTANCEBackground As infection control faces new challenges from emerging, multidrug resistant strains of the yeast Candida auris, this study was conducted in order to examine the efficacy of hospital surface disinfectants and a new water disinfectant against C. auris biofilm forms. Methods We ...
auristhan the quaternary ammonium chloride (QAC)-alcohol-based disinfectant towelettes irrespective of tested contact times. Thirty s contact time was significantly less effective in reducingC. auriscompared to 1-, 2-, 3-, and 10-min contact times. However, there were no statistically significant...
Candida auris (C. auris) is an opportunistic budding yeast that has been identified across 41 countries, including several countries in the Middle East. The increasing global concern stems from the pathogen’s acquired resistance to antifungal drugs and
We have shown that the greater capacity to form biofilm is linked to enhanced virulence and increased resistance to antifungals [21]. Further studies of this yeast, alongside the emerging yeast pathogen C. auris, have demonstrated that biofilm-mediated patterns of resistance also exist for both ...
resistance to fluconazole was not attributable to prior azole use but rather to a group of fluconazole-resistantC. parapsilosisthat have become endemic [22]. In our case series, two-thirds ofC. aurispatients received previous antifungals, of which more than a half were echinocandins. Interestingly...
