Imported from NNDSS: Candida auris, clinical
Track Candida auris, clinical activity in Hawaii in real time.
Get push notifications the moment outbreak conditions change in your area.
Candida auris was first identified in 2009 in Japan from an ear canal infection, though retrospective studies suggest earlier isolates. Its global emergence since then, particularly its multidrug resistance and ability to cause outbreaks, has made it a significant public health concern.
Candida auris primarily spreads through direct contact with colonized or infected individuals, often via the contaminated hands of healthcare workers. It can also be transmitted indirectly by contact with contaminated environmental surfaces or shared medical equipment, as it can persist on surfaces for prolonged periods.
Contagious Period: Varies by disease
