Abstract:
Candida auris screening in units meeting a prespecified cluster threshold was intensified from biweekly to weekly and paired with rapid in-house PCR (November 2022-March 2024). Monthly incident clinical cases decreased by 32%. Colonization detections increased with weekly screening and declined after in-house testing, supporting earlier case finding and response.
