Abstract

Candida auris is a fungal organism resistant to several classes of antifungals. Since its identification in 2009, it has gained worldwide attention in healthcare for its virulence and resistance to commonly used antifungal therapeutics. Although its origin and mechanisms of transmission are not fully elucidated, it is widely recognized as a high priority healthcare-associated pathogen. Infection control efforts in skilled nursing facilities have been very challenging due to the tendency of C. auris to persist in the environment and colonize residents. In this narrative review, we discuss the epidemiology and infection prevention of C. auris in skilled nursing facilities. We also identify challenges in the diagnosis and management of both symptomatic infections and asymptomatic colonization.
