𝘊. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴, a serious public health threat that may have emerged because of climate change, persists on human skin and inanimate objects, frequently causing difficult-to-control outbreaks in health care facilities. Full review with interactive map: nej.md/3CMj8gT

ALT Figure 1. Geographic Origins of Candida auris and Clinical Cases in the United States. Shown are the areas of the globe in which the five C. auris clades initially arose. The inset shows the number of C. auris clinical cases across the United States from 2013 through 2022 (data are from www.cdc.gov/fungal/candida-auris/tracking-c-auris.html). In South Africa and India, C. auris accounts for up to 25% and 40% of candidemia cases, respectively, in certain health care settings.

Our recent study out today in @PLOSPathogens identified cell type specific immune responses to Candida auris skin infection using single cell transcriptomics. Thank you @LionakisLab, Mihai Netea and Vinod for collaborating in this study !

FungalDx2024 is an amazing opportunity to learn how we can choose the best diagnostic test to detect a fungal infection, to interpret the results, which antifungal is best to use for treatment, how to choose the best platform in resource-rich vs. -limited clinical environment.
