: Epidemiology and Antifungal Strategy.

is a recently emerged fungal pathogen that causes severe infections in healthcare settings around the globe. A feature that distinguishes from other fungal pathogens is its high capacity to colonize skin, leading to widespread outbreaks in healthcare facilities via patient-to-patient transmission. can persist on skin or in the surrounding environment for extended periods of time, and it exhibits greater antifungal resistance than other species. These factors pose major obstacles for the prevention and treatment of infection. Recent reports have identified frequently colonized skin sites, risk factors for developing invasive infection, and patterns of antifungal resistance among strains, all of which help guide therapeutic options. In this review, we highlight key studies of epidemiology and antifungal resistance, discussing how these factors influence healthcare-associated transmission and treatment outcomes.
