Superbug Fungus Spreads in Hospitals | Nashville News
Description
A deadly, drug-resistant fungus called Candida auris is spreading fast—especially in hospitals—with Tennessee reporting 293 cases this year alone. Experts warn it’s tough to treat, survives on surfaces, and thrives in healthcare settings, posing the greatest threat to frail patients in long-term care. While some speculate climate change or animal-to-human transmission may be behind its global spread since 2009, officials urge the public not to panic: outbreaks are being contained, and protections are in place for those most at risk.
