An overview of Candida auris : The emerging healthcare threat

Recently, Candida auris has been increasingly isolated from cases of disseminated fungal infections, particularly in seriously ill patients. This mycotic emergent is often difficult to diagnose and treat. C. auris has every potential to survive and disseminate in the hospital environment. Although various studies are being conducted to explore several aspects of these pathogens, many characteristics are still largely unknown. A robust collaborative approach is highly essential to curtail its spread in the nosocomial environment.
