Briefings

Researchers Carla Schuh and Chaitanya Gokhale from the University of Würzburg analyzed 180 studies to summarize the rapid global spread of Candida auris, a yeast that has become a dangerous pathogen in just a few years. The review highlights the current state of knowledge regarding this fungal species, though specific mechanisms of rapid evolution remain unclear.

Key points

• Carla Schuh and Chaitanya Gokhale from the Biocentre at the University of Würzburg analyzed 180 studies to summarize the rapid global spread of Candida auris.
• The review indicates that Candida auris has become a dangerous pathogen worldwide in just a few years.

Context

A review article in mSphere by researchers from the University of Würzburg analyzes 180 studies to understand why Candida auris has spread globally so quickly.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a review of 180 studies; specific mechanisms of rapid evolution and the full timeline of global spread are not fully detailed in the provided text.
