[QUOTE="CapnGranite, post: 5612648, member: 605103"] [URL]http://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/candidiasis/candida-auris.html[/URL] [I]"C. auris[/I] is difficult to identify with standard laboratory methods and can be misidentified in labs without specific technology. CDC encourages all U.S. laboratory staff who identify [I]C. auris[/I] strains to notify their state or local public health authorities and CDC at [EMAIL]candidaauris@cdc.gov[/EMAIL]." It appears that the CDC has been pushing for stricter standards "In 2013, CDC issued a http://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/threat-report-2013/index.html describing antibiotic resistance threats in the United States that needed prompt action, including [I]Candida[/I] infections." I think it's part of a larger problem involving globalization in general and global environmental change. One of the members of my subgroup in the American Geophysical Union's Global Environmental Focus Group is an epidemiologist and when we meet we plot changes on a huge wall map, sit back with our glasses of wine and say, "Oh, s***." when things seem to be converging. In the cases of diseases, we clearly need to be more vigilant than in the past. [/QUOTE]
