Outbreak investigation of <i>Candida auris</i> at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan

Abstract

This is the report of the outbreak investigation that triggered a global exploration of <i>C. auris</i> as a newly identified multidrug-resistant nosocomial organism, spreading within the hospital, especially among patients with invasive procedures. Unfortunately, we could not identify any specific source of the outbreak nor stop the transmission of the organism.
