Candida auris Testing by the Antimicrobial Resistance Laboratory Network, United States, 2022-2023
Emerging Infectious Diseases
|February 19, 2026
Abstract:
During 2022-2023, the Antimicrobial Resistance Laboratory Network tested 8,033 Candida auris clinical isolates in the United States. Overall, 95% of isolates were fluconazole resistant, 15% amphotericin B resistant, and 1% echinocandin resistant. Laboratory capacity for C. auris identification and antifungal susceptibility testing is essential to address this emerging public health threat.

Antimicrobial Effectiveness
The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents depends on various factors influencing their ability to eliminate microbial populations. Larger microbial populations require more time for complete eradication, emphasizing the importance of population size analysis when evaluating antimicrobial efficacy.Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents varies significantly. Highly resilient microorganisms include endospores, gram-negative bacteria, and non-enveloped viruses, while prions are exceptionally...
Automated Microbial Diagnostics
Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...
