CANDIDA AURIS INFECTIONS

Abstract

Candida auris is an emerging but important pathogen due to its ability to cause epidemics and antifungal resistance. This factor, which was first detected in 2009, has rapidly started to be seen globally, and there have been cases detected in our country in recent years. However, much remains unknown about this current global public health pathogen. In this review, we aimed to review the literature on C. auris.

CANDIDA AURIS ENFEKSİYONLARI

Abstract

Candida auris yeni ortaya çıkan ancak salgınlar yapabilmesi ve antifungal direnci nedeniyle önemli bir patojendir. İlk 2009 yılında saptanan bu etken, hızlıca global olarak görülmeye başlamış, son yıllarda ülkemizden de tespit edilen olgular olmuştur. Ancak bu güncel küresel halk sağlığı patojeni konsunda bilinmezler çoktur. Biz de bu derleme çalışmasında, C. auris konulu literatürü gözden geçirmeyi amaçladık.
