The CDC has identified Candida auris as an "urgent threat" due to its resistance to multiple antifungal drugs, rapid spread in healthcare settings, and high mortality rates, which range from 30% to 60% among infected individuals. This drug-resistant fungus primarily affects vulnerable populations, such as the sick and elderly, and thrives in hospitals and senior care facilities. Since its first U.S. detection in 2016, cases have escalated annually, reaching over 4,500 in 2023. The CDC emphasizes the need for enhanced surveillance, faster diagnostics, and strict infection control measures to combat its spread.
