Confirmado em três casos, o Candida auris é um fungo que pode causar infecções invasivas, muitas vezes fatais.

O superfungo Candida auris foi identificado pela primeira vez no Japão, em 2009, no ouvido de um paciente, o que originou o nome auris (orelha, em latim).

Segundo o CDC dos EUA, já foi reportado em 47 países. O alerta sobre o fungo aumentou durante a pandemia, pelo maior número de internações longas.

No Brasil, o primeiro caso foi registrado em Salvador, em dezembro de 2020, infectando 15 pessoas.

A Candida auris é preocupante por sua capacidade de sobreviver por meses em superfícies hospitalares, além de sua resistência a tratamentos.

A transmissão ocorre por contato direto com objetos ou pessoas infectadas, mas até agora, as infecções foram restritas ao ambiente hospitalar.
