摘要
Candida auris (C. auris) has emerged as a fungal pathogen with great propensity to spread rapidly on a global scale. C. auris infections have also caused significant morbidity and mortality. Strategies to prevent spread and outbreaks are critical. In this review, an update on the epidemiology of C. auris and a discussion of strategies to combat the spread of C. auris are presented. Future directions are also discussed.
