On this episode, we welcome back Deborah Milito, director of clinical and consultant services for Diamond’s long-term care division, to talk about the threat of candida auris. Since first appearing in Japan in 2009, this drug-resistant fungus has showed up around the world and poses a threat to the sickest of the sick, especially in places like skilled nursing facilities. Deborah gives us the rundown on c.auris - why it’s deadly, how it resists drugs, and what providers can do to protect patients. If you’re not very familiar with c.auris, this podcast is an easy-listening primer.
