After reading this short article, I have a question: In La Fe Hospital ( Spain ) screening, they published that rectal screening detects the most #cauris ICU cases ( www.mdpi.com/2309-608X/10... ) . I don't fully understand this dichotomy. Does anyone have an hipótesis? #IDSky #candida #candidozyma

Detection of Candidozyma (formerly Candida) auris from ward wastewater during an outbreak using culture and molecular methods Candidozyma (Candida) auris is a multi-drug-resistant fungal pathogen associated with protracted, costly hospital outbreaks. Conventional patient-level screening is resource-intensive and may not be c...

#CAuris can be isolated from ward #wastewater during an outbreak, related to patient isolates - excited to share this work with thanks to our team @amiegriffin.bsky.social @lsymes2610.bsky.social @raewake.bsky.social @jon-otter.bsky.social

This study outlines results from standardized tests to evaluate the susceptibility of different #CAuris clade strains and C. albicans ATCC 10231 strain to commonly used disinfecting agents and commercially available ready-to-use disinfecting wipes

Image taken from the cover of the book "Candida auris: Methods and Protocols" , coordinated by Prof. @lorenzlab.bsky.social Note: this book is intended only for professionals with a solid microbiology background. I loved reading it and found it excellent, but I had to study quite a bit of microbiology to understand many of the topics inside. In general, it won’t be useful for most nurses, but for IPC Nurses with microbiology tropism is TOP.

Tip for nurses: Facing C. auris EBP are indicate and training is vital bcs misuse can harm > help, but standard precautions must audit & retrain onfacility‑wide for ALL pros., not just in ward affected by #cauris S.P. are the base and applied very strictly avert most issues #IDsky

This is important for microbiologists, medical #IDSky and other experts on #Cauris 🦠. As nurse, this isn’t my work —I’m in other IPC work— but I’d like to wish the medical & scientific community the very best of luck in this work about the CMIs. Your success will be a success for all our patients 🌍💪

A pride to see a fellow nurse (- lucky could I one day be a nurse as competent as her in this matter -) deliver such a useful webinar on #Cauris , often unknown and quite difficult because there are still many unanswered questions.Congrats www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gUI...

Did you know that 80% of the antibiotics produced in the US are given to farm animals?

And that antibiotic resistance in humans is raising?
