Abstract

Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen, with resistance to several antifungal drugs. Serious C. auris infections affect hospitalized patients and residents of long-term care facilities, although the pathogen can also be present on a healthy individual's skin. Many studies have shown international introductions of C. auris to the United States. Here, we present a simulation that supports the hypothesis that the earlier introductions of C. auris in the New York-New Jersey area are not random but related to travel networks.
