See the CDC posting, which I traced down through a series of CDC postings.
CDC is currently alarmed over the spread. C. auris is colonizing health care facilities.

The 2019 WaPo article was more descriptive than the WaPo piece from yesterday, which is why I cited the older article.
From yesterday:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2023/03/20/candida-auris-fungus-infection/
"Deadly fungal infection rapidly spreading in U.S. health facilities"

I posted this in E&E because of the climate-change connection. See also this piece under the Health topic:
https://democraticunderground.com/114230648
which cites an NPR article
