Molecular UTI testing: The key to preventing outbreaks in long-term
care
facilities
A new and alarming fungal pathogen, Candida auris (C. auris), is
catalyzing a global crisis across
long-term care facilities. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) announced C. auris
to be an increasing threat earlier this year and
has stated that it is often resistant to multiple
antifungal drugs, spreads easily, and can
cause severe infections with high death rates.
