Candida auris (C. auris) is a multidrug resistant superbug that has become an urgent global threat to patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities. C. auris is primarily spread by contaminated surfaces and objects. It can thrive on surfaces for months in biofilm, making it very difficult to kill without a disinfectant that has an EPA registered biofilm claim.
At least 1 in 3 patients with invasive candidiasis
die within a month of diagnosis.
Healthcare organizations are struggling to contain C. auris infections as environmental contamination sources are not limited to high touch surfaces and objects in patient rooms but can be found in all patient care areas. To mitigate C. auris transmission, facilities must take more proactive steps, which we’ve outlined in a free guide.
