Abstract:

Healthcare facilities in several countries have reported that a type of yeast called Candida auris has been causing severe illness in hospitalized patients.This yeast often does not respond to commonly used antifungal drugs,making infections difficult to treat.Because of these factors,in this paper we are alerting healthcare facilities in China to be on the lookout for C.auris in their patients.

Key words: Candida auris, antifungal drugs resistance, pathogenic yeast
