This page includes information on infection prevention and control (IPC) strategies for Candida auris (C. auris).
C. auris is a fungus (yeast) that is resistant to a range of antifungal medicines and can cause serious infections in patients who are immunocompromised. The severity, communicability, and drug resistance associated with C. auris infections means that correct identification and management of C. auris is crucial for the treatment and control of disease.
Environmentally sustainable infection prevention and control (IPC) practices improve the safety and quality of health care for patients.
