South Asian (Clade I) Candida auris meningitis in a paediatric patient in Iran with a review of the literature

Hossein Mirhendi et al.

Summary: Candida meningitis is a rare and life-threatening yeast infection usually affecting immunocompromised or pediatric patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures or shunt placement. The disease is challenging to diagnose due to diverse clinical manifestations, potentially leading to underestimation of affected patients. Urgent epidemiological surveillance studies are needed to understand the prevalence of this emerging multidrug resistance pathogen.

Wastewater surveillance to infer COVID-19 transmission: A systematic review

Shimoni Shah et al.

Summary: The successful detection of SARS-COV-2 in wastewater suggests the potential of wastewater-based epidemiology for COVID-19 surveillance. A systematic review found that wastewater surveillance can serve as an early warning system for community transmission, with wastewater signals preceding confirmed cases by up to 63 days. Although wastewater surveillance cannot replace diagnostic testing, it can provide early signs of potential transmission for more proactive public health responses. Additional studies using standardized methods are needed to understand viral outbreak dynamics.

Use of wastewater surveillance for early detection of Alpha and Epsilon SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and estimation of overall COVID-19 infection burden

Van Vo et al.

Summary: A decline in diagnostic testing for COVID-19 is expected to delay the tracking of variants of concern in the United States. Wastewater surveillance programs can serve as an effective alternative for detecting emerging variants and assessing the incidence of COVID-19, especially when clinical surveillance is limited. Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater from Southern Nevada revealed consistent trends with confirmed COVID-19 cases, but also highlighted limitations in clinical data. Wastewater surveillance detected variants earlier than clinical sequencing, demonstrating the potential of this method in expedited variant detection.

Environmental Isolation of Candida auris from the Coastal Wetlands of Andaman Islands, India

Parth Arora et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that Candida auris may be present in the marine ecosystem, and was isolated from salt marshes and sandy beaches near the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. This suggests that prior to being recognized as a human pathogen, C. auris may have existed in the environment.

Suhail Ahmad et al.

Summary: Candida auris is a recently recognized yeast that is often multidrug-resistant and has become a significant fungal pathogen in healthcare facilities due to its ability to cause invasive infections and outbreaks. Its resistance to cleaning procedures and ability to easily contaminate the environment have led to major outbreaks in many countries.

Integrated genomic, epidemiologic investigation of Candida auris skin colonization in a skilled nursing facility

Diana M. Proctor et al.

Summary: Longitudinal skin sampling in a skilled nursing facility revealed persistent niches of Candida auris, highlighting the importance of universal strategies to reduce its transmission. High concentrations of CHG were associated with suppressing C. auris growth without perturbing commensal microbes, providing insights into skin fungal community alterations as modifiable risk factors for C. auris acquisition and persistence. Failure to detect the extensive, disparate niches of C. auris colonization may reduce the effectiveness of infection-prevention measures, emphasizing the need for broader approaches.

SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance for Public Health Action

Jill S. McClary-Gutierrez et al.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 has shown potential in complementing existing disease surveillance systems by correlating viral RNA concentrations in untreated sewage with reported case trends. Bridging the communication and knowledge gaps between researchers and public health responders is crucial for translating these measurements into useful public health tools. Addressing these barriers may pave the way for making this emerging public health tool a sustainable nationwide surveillance system.

Early-pandemic wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Southern Nevada: Methodology, occurrence, and incidence/prevalence considerations

Daniel Gerrity et al.

Summary: The study aimed to compare virus recovery and detection methods, detect and quantify SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in two sewersheds in Southern Nevada, and understand the link between COVID-19 incidence/prevalence and wastewater concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Different methods and target water matrices led to varying virus recovery rates and sample volumes, impacting sensitivity and reported concentrations. Composite sampling showed a significant increase in concentration compared to grab samples, indicating diurnal variability in SARS-CoV-2 signal. Detection and quantification of genetic markers in sewage showed comparability with public health data in early pandemic stages.
