A superfungus is outsmarting medicine—and scientists just figured out how.
Candida auris, a deadly drug-resistant fungus spreading in hospitals, has baffled experts with its ability to survive nearly all treatments. But new research from Michigan State University, published in Nature Communications on July 15, 2025, just cracked part of its defense system.
Researchers discovered that C. auris uses a unique gene-regulated mechanism to reinforce its cell wall—helping it survive antifungal drugs and persist on surfaces and in the bloodstream even after treatment.
Why it matters: This fungus isn’t just tough—it’s deadly, with up to a XX% mortality rate in high-risk patients. The breakthrough opens new doors for targeted treatments and gives hospitals a clearer path to containing outbreaks.
