Methods for skin load reduction of Candida auris: a systematic review

Candida auris (Candidozyma auris, C. auris) is a fungal pathogen with multiple drug resistance, belonging to a species of yeast, known for its ability to sustain growth in the host. This organism can colonize human skin and spread through physical contact or contaminated surfaces and equipment. Given the limited reviews on skin load reduction methods of C. auris, this review aims to summarize and evaluate the current load reduction methods involving reducing skin load, and the risk of colonization. The findings will provide healthcare facilities and nursing homes with evidence-based guidance to develop effective prevention and control strategies.
