Survey reveals low Candida auris screening in US healthcare facilities, indicating increased surveillance is needed to prevent transmission.
We surveyed members of the Emerging Infections Network about Candida auris screening practices at US healthcare facilities. Only 37% of respondents reported conducting screening; among these, 75% reported detection of at least 1 C. auris case in the last year. Increased screening could improve C. auris detection and prevent spread.
