Understanding Candida Auris
Inside the Rise, Spread, and Drug Resistance of a Dangerous Fungal Pathogen What happens when a little-known fungus becomes a serious global health threat? Candida auris has emerged as one of the most concerning fungal pathogens of our time. It can spread through healthcare environments, survive on surfaces, infect vulnerable patients, and develop resistance to important antifungal medicines. But how did this mysterious organism emerge, and why has it become so difficult to control? Understanding Candida Auris takes you inside the fascinating and alarming story of this emerging pathogen. Inside this book, you will discover how C. auris first came to scientific attention, what makes it biologically unusual, how colonization can progress to dangerous infection, and why hospitals and long-term-care facilities can become challenging environments for controlling its spread. You will also explore the growing antifungal resistance crisis, the difficulties surrounding diagnosis, the major geographic lineages of the fungus, modern genomic methods for tracking outbreaks, and the developing technologies that could shape the future of fungal disease surveillance. But there are still unanswered questions. How did C. auris emerge in different parts of the world?
