For healthcare systems in the Pacific Northwest, the recent outbreaksopens in a new tab or window of Candida auris (C. auris) serve as a wake-up call. The implications of the arrival of this resilient and drug-resistant fungal pathogen are profound, particularly for our most vulnerable patients who are immunocompromised or critically ill. This new threat also represents a bellwether in health circles due to the clear link between the spread of C. auris and climate change.
What makes C. auris particularly dangerous is its resistance to multiple antifungal drugs. Strains of the fungus can be resistant to one, two, or even all three main classes of antifungal medications. For immunosuppressed or critically ill patients, these drug-resistant strains pose a significant threat to health, with more than one-third of patients infected with C. auris dying within a month of diagnosis.
