PATHOGENESIS, PROPHYLAXIS, AND TREATMENT OF CANDIDA AURIS

Pathogenesis, Prophylaxis, and Treatment of Candida auris

Candida auris poses a serious threat to infection control and patient care since it can produce invasive infections that have a high fatality rate, has been linked to outbreaks in hospital environments, and is typically resistant to several antifungal medications.Since its first description in 2009, six clades have been described.The emerging funga
