Candida auris is an emerging infection, a yeast that is multidrug resistant and has a propensity to spread in healthcare settings. Outbreaks have occurred in several states around the country. C. auris has been identified in Orange County since early in
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 ...
Dr. Margie Morgan, Director, Clinical Microbiology Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Cedars Sinai Hospital in California said “the BioGXCandida aurisPCR assay provides a rapid and sensitive method to perform surveillance testing for our patient population. The real time results have been used by ...
The fungus wasseen in the U.S.for the first time in 2013. Dr. Lynn Sosa, Connecticut's deputy state epidemiologist, toldThe New York Timesthat she views she views Candida auris as "pretty much unbeatable and difficult to identify." As of the end of February, a total of 587 cases had...
Cases ofC. auriswere identified in the United Kingdom when the fungus began spreading among patients. Containing it was such an issue that the intensive care unit (ICU) had to be shut down "In my life, I hadn't heard of an ICU being shut down for a fungus," said Dr Chiller. "That...

Candida auris has become a serious threat to public health. The mechanisms of how this fungal pathogen adapts to the mammalian host are poorly understood. Here we report the rapid evolution of an adaptive C. auris multicellular aggregative morphology in
albicans cells are still internalized in macrophages. We observed a small number of CFW-stained hyphae at 2 h post-infection that were mostly not associated with the nuclei of permeabilized macrophages (Figures 1B; Video S1, part 1). These could represent rare, non-lytic escape events (Bain ...
