Background to the study: Invasive candidiasis is a critical healthcare-related fungal infection caused by several Candida species. Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant, non-albicans species responsible for nosocomial infections, from skin colonization to invasive candidiasis outbreaks. It causes horizontal transmission, persistent outbreaks, and high mortality rates ranging from 30% to 78% across the affected populations. |
