Candida auris: Epidemiology Update and a Review of Strategies 

to Prevent Spread

In theory, C. auris could exist at a deeper skin level rather than on the surface of the skin. 

This could explain why individuals colonized with C. auris test negative at one time point but positive at another time point.

C. auris belongs to the Metschnikowiaceae family of the CTG clade. It is emerging as a significant threat worldwide due to its recalcitrance to disinfectants and its multidrug-resistant properties. The biological features contributing to its prevalence and rapid emergence remain largely unknown.
