Health departments and the CDC have identified 13 cases of Candida auris infections in the U.S., according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control and Clinical Quality website.
In two of the U.S. instances, the patients were treated at the same healthcare facility and their C. auris strains were nearly identical.
The CDC recommends hospitals implement Standard and Contact Precautions to prevent the spread of the yeast in their facilities.
In rooms where a C. auris patient is discharged, workers should use an Environmental Protection Agency-registered disinfectant active against fungi.
