   Hospitals, nursing homes and other medical facilities are struggling to   
   gain ground on a drug-resistant and deadly fungus that has infected at   
   least 7,000 people in 2025, according to tracking by the Centers for   
   Disease Control and Prevention.   
      
   Candida auris, a fungus that was first reported in the U.S. in 2016, has   
   spread rapidly over the past several years. It can survive on surfaces   
   for long periods of time before spreading to patients through catheters,   
   breathing tubes or IVs.   
      
   Some strains of the fungus are considered a superbug because they’re   
   resistant to all types of medications usually used to treat fungal   
   infections. While healthy people may be able to fight off the infection   
   on their own, the fungus can be deadly in the health care settings where   
   it spreads, where people are often sick and vulnerable.   
      
   “If you get infected with this pathogen that’s resistant to any   
   treatment, there’s no treatment we can give you to help combat it.   
   You’re all on your own,” Melissa Nolan, an assistant professor of   
   epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of South Carolina, told   
   Nexstar.   
      
   Some scientists theorize climate change is contributing to the spread of   
   Candida auris and pathogens like it.
