Screening for < em > Candida auris < /em > in patients admitted to eight intensive care units in England, 2017 to 2018

ConclusionThese findings imply that C. auris colonisation among patients admitted to ICUs in England is currently rare. We would not currently recommend widespread screening for C. auris in ICUs in England. Hospitals should continue to screen high-risk individuals based on local risk assessment.PMID:33632376 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.8.1900730
