Global characteristics and trends in research on Candida auris.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Candida auris, a fungal pathogen first reported in 2009, has shown strong resistance to azole antifungal drugs and has caused severe nosocomial outbreaks. It can also form biofilms, which can colonize patients' skin and transmit to others.
