Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Candida auris continues to challenge healthcare systems worldwide with its multidrug resistance, high transmission potential, and diagnostic complexity. For clinicians, this pathogen presents significant hurdles in patient management and infection control. For researchers, it raises urgent questions about resistance mechanisms, environmental persistence, and epidemiological trends.
The Journal of Fungi's Special Issue, "Candida auris Infection: Recent Advances in Epidemiology, Clinical Practice, and Environmental Impact," provides a vital platform to share new findings, clinical experiences, and innovative solutions. By contributing to this Issue, you can help advance our collective understanding of C. auris and support the development of more effective diagnostic, therapeutic, and prevention strategies.
Dr. Eleni Magira
