Abstract
Candida auris is a World Health Organization critical-priority fungal pathogen that has variable resistance to antifungal treatments. Multiple clades have been identified through genomic analysis and have appeared in different geographic locations simultaneously. Due to a combination of factors including antifungal resistance, ability to colonize and persist in the environment, and thermotolerance, it can thrive. Infected patients are associated with a high mortality rate, especially those with multiple health risk factors like those associated with other Candida species. This review highlights the current situation of this pathogen to help provide guidance for future work.
