A description of the first Candida auris-colonized individuals in New York State, 2016-2017

Karen Southwick et al.

Summary: Candida auris (C. auris) is a globally emerging multidrug-resistant yeast. New York State is the most affected area in the United States. This report provides characteristics of the first 114 individuals colonized with C. auris identified through active surveillance/screening, highlighting their age, healthcare exposures, underlying conditions, and high mortality rates.

Factors Associated With Candida auris Colonization and Transmission in Skilled Nursing Facilities With Ventilator Units, New York, 2016-2018

John Rossow et al.

Summary: The study investigated factors associated with C. auris colonization in ventilator-capable skilled nursing facilities in New York State. Results showed that being on a ventilator, receiving carbapenem antibiotics, having recent acute care hospital visits, and receiving systemic fluconazole were associated with C. auris colonization. Targeted screening for patients with these risk factors can help identify colonized patients and implement infection control measures, while antimicrobial stewardship may play an important role in preventing C. auris colonization.

Screening for Candida auris in patients admitted to eight intensive care units in England, 2017 to 2018

Ashley Sharp et al.

Summary: The study found that colonization of C. auris among patients admitted to ICUs in England is currently rare, and widespread screening is not recommended. No positive cases were found through admission screening, and the screened cohort was similar to the national cohort in demographics and comorbidities.

Rapid Assessment and Containment of Candida auris Transmission in Postacute Care Settings-Orange County, California, 2019

Ellora N. Karmarkar et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the prevalence of C auris and infection prevention and control practices in long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) and ventilator-capable skilled-nursing facilities (vSNFs) in Orange County, California. Point prevalence surveys, postdischarge testing, and IPC assessments were conducted from March to October 2019, revealing gaps in IPC practices and allowing for the swift identification and containment of C auris outbreak.
