Abstract
Since its first emergence in December 2019, due to its fast distribution throughout the world, SARS-COV-2 become a global concern. With the extremely increased number of hospitalized patients, this situation provided a potential basis for the transmission of nosocomial infections. Candida auris is a multidrug-resistant pathogen with improved transmission dynamics and resistance traits. During the worldwide spread of COVID-19, cases or outbreaks of C. auris colonization or infection have been reported. Resistance to antifungal drugs has been observed in the causative agents of the majority of such cases. The focus in this review is on COVID-19-associated C. auris infections (case studies/outbreaks) and the pandemic's potential effect on antifungal drug resistance.
