Attributable Mortality of Candida Bloodstream Infections in the Modern Era: A Propensity Score Analysis

Patrick B. Mazi et al.

Summary: This study quantified the mortality attributable to Candida bloodstream infections in the modern era of echinocandins, finding that the mortality was more pronounced in patients at lowest risk of developing the infection. Patients at the lowest risk who went untreated had higher mortality rates compared to treated patients.

Candida auris Candidemia in Critically Ill, Colonized Patients: Cumulative Incidence and Risk Factors

Federica Briano et al.

Summary: Candida auris (C. auris) is an emerging nosocomial pathogen that has shown a sharp rise in colonization and infection cases during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study found a high cumulative incidence of C. auris candidemia in colonized patients, with multisite colonization being an independent risk factor for candidemia development.

Genevieve Bergeron et al.

Summary: A case management pilot program was designed for New York City residents with Candida auris, where the majority of patients no longer tested positive for C auris after at least two colonization assessments.

Molecular Epidemiological Investigation of a Nosocomial Cluster of C. auris: Evidence of Recent Emergence in Italy and Ease of Transmission during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Vincenzo Di Pilato et al.

Summary: The study identified the recent introduction of MDR Candida auris in an Italian hospital, likely facilitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. All isolates belonged to the South Asian clade, with most transmission associated with a ward converted to a dedicated ICU during the pandemic.

Positive Correlation Between Candida auris Skin-Colonization Burden and Environmental Contamination at a Ventilator-Capable Skilled Nursing Facility in Chicago

D. Joseph Sexton et al.

Summary: This study found that Candida auris can spread in healthcare facilities, with colonized residents potentially carrying a high burden on their skin that is positively associated with contamination of the surrounding environment. Emphasizing the importance of hand hygiene, transmission-based precautions, and environmental disinfection is crucial in preventing the spread of Candida auris in healthcare settings.

Candida auris Cell Wall Mannosylation Contributes to Neutrophil Evasion through Pathways Divergent from Candida albicans and Candida glabrata

Mark Horton et al.

Summary: Candida auris, an emerging fungal pathogen with high mortality rates, evades neutrophil activity through cell wall mannosylation, a mechanism distinct from other common Candida species. Disruption of mannosylation pathways renders C. auris susceptible to neutrophil killing and sheds light on innate immune evasion for this emerging pathogen.
