just happened to be reading this & it somehow seemed presciently applicable

a mostly entire population with a weakened immune system surely won’t pose any problems for #bacteria #viruses #fungus #yeast… right?

I’m glad I lived in Miami Beach as a kid & visited couple times after b/c am never going back, for multiple reasons. Vegas is out too #candidaAuris

Experts concerned about ‘zombie’ fungus called Candida auris.

Here's a microbiologist explaining how Candida Auris becomes resistant to treatment https://theconversation.com/how-do-candida-auris-and-other-fungi-develop-drug-resistance-a-microbiologist-explains-203495 #MedMastodon #AntiFungal #CandidaAuris

“In 2016, there were only 53 cases of this in the U.S.,” Dr. Gordon Cohen, M.D. said on Seattle’s Morning News. “But this past year, there were 2,377 people who were infected with this particular fungal infection. The problem with it is that Candida auris has a mortality rate of around 60%.”

Candida auris is a deadly fungus that is spreading around the world. It is difficult to detect and treat, as it is resistant to most antifungal drugs. Scientists suspect climate change may have helped it evolve and adapt to warmer temperatures, making it more infectious and dangerous.

So something sus is happening in America. They'll mind you that's common so take this with a grain of salt. But I just watched an episode of slapped ham that featured this weird phenomena that's been growing in the country since 2019. If you go to the video that I am linking you will find the part I'm talking about at 4 minutes and 35 seconds. Because of this I did a Google search and learned that yes something is definitely going on. I've also put in a picture of that Google search. Seems to me that we're only a few mutations away from actually getting a zombie apocalypse. If not an apocalypse at least a breakout.

#StJude & #BroadInstitute #scientists are undertaking the first global & comprehensive examination of the #genomic, #genetic & molecular basis of #antifungalresistance in the emerging multi-drug resistant fungal pathogen #CandidaAuris. Dr. David Rogers, St. Jude: “Understanding the basis of antifungal resistance is essential for developing tools to better redirect response to therapy, to aid rational drug design & development & to assist in epidemiologic tracking of the spread of resistance."

#IDMastodon @bmj_latest #candidaauris a multi-drug resistant fungal infection, is spreading rapidly in US healthcare facilities, a study from @CDCgov has found. The #publichealth agency said that C auris was an emerging fungus that is a serious global health threat.

Deadly fungal infection spreading at an alarming rate, #CDC says
the fungus, a type of yeast called Candida auris, or C. auris, can cause severe illness in people with weakened immune systems.

Deadly #drugresistant #yeast gained ground, more drug resistance amid #COVID
#CandidaAuris has been considered an "urgent threat"—the #CDC's highest level of concern—since it was first reported in the US in 2016. The yeast lurks in #healthcare settings and preys upon vulnerable patients, causing invasive #infections with a fatality rate of between 30-60%.

For those of us with elders who are immunocompromised or have invasive medical devices (catheters, needles, etc), this is not good news.

At least it’s not The Last of Us bad.
