Candida auris escapes innate immunity through metabolic reprogramming

A team of scientists from Australia and Israel demonstrates that Candida auris, a fungus associated with life-threatening and drug-resistant infections, escapes the host's innate immune response by destroying macrophages through metabolic reprogramming. The fungus is also capable of escaping antimicrobial inflammatory response.

Antifungal tolerance in Candida auris contributes to treatment failure

A recent study published in the journal Biomedicines aimed to determine the antifungal tolerance of Candida auris (C. auris) to all three classes of antifungal drugs commonly used to treat invasive candidiasis.

High-resolution mass spectrometric rapid identification of Candida auris

A recent study published in the Journal of Fungi used a novel OrbitrapTM high-resolution mass spectrometric technology coupled with liquid chromatography to identify geographically different clades of Candida auris (C. auris) isolates. This proof-of-concept methodology could accurately detect C. auris in the microbiology laboratory.

23 Mar 2023

Candida auris infection without epidemiologic links to a prior outbreak

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified Candida auris (C. auris) as an urgent public threat due to its role in elevating mortality, its ability to persist in hospital environments, and the high possibility of developing pan-drug resistance.

Researchers receive $3 million-plus NIH grant to develop treatment for drug-resistant fungus

With a new $3 million-plus grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Case Western Reserve University researchers are examining the next level of treatment for Candida auris (C.auris), a multidrug-resistant yeast that causes serious infection and, in some cases, death.
