Deadly Fungus Outbreak Spreads Across Health Care Facilities in California Amid Pandemic

According to the officials, there have been multiple reports of the Candida auris fungus being found in health care facilities in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the fungus “presents a serious global threat” because it is “often multi-drug resistant, meaning that it is resistant to multiple antifungal drugs commonly used to treat Candida infections.”
In addition, the fungus can survive on surfaces for weeks and does not respond to many commonly used disinfectants.
