A drug-resistant fungus, Candida Auris, is spreading rapidly in US hospitals, posing a severe threat to patients who need invasive medical equipment. Georgia has seen over 1,300 cases as of the end of Feb 2025. Candida Auris, or C. Auris, is particularly dangerous in health care settings, where it spreads easily through invasive medical equipment such as breathing tubes, feeding tubes, syringes, or catheters. The fungus is resistant to many household cleaners and traditional hospital disinfectants, like ammonia-based cleaning solutions. C. Auris is not a threat to the general public.
The new Secretary of Health and Human Services will be addressing this problem efficiently and effectively.
It is more likely due to a convergence of 3 main things:
1) Climate change, the warmer the more expansive the range and the more prolific the fungi.
2) Agriculture where anti-fungals are used extensively, is leading to resistant strains.
3) Massive urbanization and humans encroaching on the environment filled with the new resistant strains.
Throw all that on top of a system of hospitals that was broken under the strain of COVID and this is what to expect.

Unfortunately the US is likely not going to do anything about it under Trump/Brainworm Kennedy...
