Successful control measures to treat the transmission of Candida auris in Northern Italian Hospital

Candida auris has emerged globally as a multidrug-resistant health care-associated fungal pathogen. In the literature, nosocomial outbreaks are reported worldwide. In addition, C. auris diffusion occurs in high-dependency settings with infections typically affecting critically ill patients, resulting in life-threatening disease. We describe the first documented case of C. auris in northeastern Italy and the measures applied to contain the transmission that led to zero collateral infections.
