Episode Details

Candida auris is spreading fast across 23 U.S. states with over 3,000 cases this year—Texas leads the outbreak. This drug-resistant fungus, first spotted in 1996 and named in 2009, thrives in hospitals, infects vulnerable patients, and can survive on surfaces for weeks.

With no clear link to deaths due to overlapping health issues, the CDC is sounding the alarm as this silent threat evolves.
