Í þættinum dag tölum við um hættulega og banvæna sveppasýkingu, Candida Auris.
Sveppurinn er að koma fram sem alþjóðleg ógn,hefur breiðst út í að minnsta kosti 15 löndum og krafðist nokkur hundraða lífa.
Hann var greindur árið 2009 í Japan, þessi banvæni sveppur smitar nú sjúklinga á sjúkrahúsum og hjúkrunarheimilum um allan heim.
Samkvæmt Centers for Disease Control (CDC) sjúdómsvarnar eftirlitinu, þá deyr um helmingur þeirra  sjúklinga sem fá sveppasýkingun Candida Auris  innan við 90 daga.
Samt hafa vísindamenn ekki getað neglt það niður hvaðan sveppurinn er upprunninn..

Af hverju er sveppurinn svo hættulegur?
Hvaða löndin eru það sem hann er að breiðast út?
Og hverjir eru í hættu? Við skulum finna það út gegnum DEPTH.

Maryn McKenna talked about her Wired article, “The Strange and Curious Case of the Deadly Superbug Yeast,” on the emergence of a “superbug” fungus, Candida auris, and how experts were working to combat the spread of infections. Ms. McKenna spoke via Skype and telephone.

This program is part of a “Washington Journal” series highlighting recent magazine articles.

C. auris is a superbug fungus along the likes of the infamous MRSA bacteria. This Candida strain is impervious to major antifungal medications. It preys on people with weakened immune systems, and since the year 2010 has been spreading around the globe.

Candida made global headlines in 2019 as lethal infections are adding alarming dimensions to the dangers of overusing medications.

Over 500 C. auris infections have been reported in the US, and outbreaks are on the rise in Europe, Australia, Latin America and Asia as well.

Humans and fungi have always coexisted. In fact, among microbes, fungi are our closest relatives, with far fewer genetic differences than there are for bacteria or viruses.
