Candida auris is a serious emerging public health threat due to its multi-drug resistance and the ability to spread in healthcare facilities.

The incidence of fungal BSIs has been increasing over the past few decades, particularly in immunocompromised patients, critically ill patients, and those with indwelling medical devices such as central venous catheters.
