Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of the emergence and prevalence of C. auris.

Global warming enhances C. auris' thermotolerance in the environment. Exposure to various antifungal agents commonly used in agricultural practices has led to multidrug resistance in C. auris. The pathogen can infect both living and non-living surfaces within hospital settings. Direct contact with these surfaces facilitates rapid pathogen dissemination, subsequently resulting in illness. C. auris has been detected in samples from different body sites, often leading to systemic infection. Its primary mode of transmission is through nosocomial routes, particularly affecting immunocompromised patients. This figure was made using a Biorender.
