Candida auris is a rare yeast that is difficult to treat, RIVM researcher Thijs Bosch recently explained in a publication about the fungus. Auris is a family of the more well-known candida albicans, which can cause vaginal yeast in women. According to researchers at Radboud university medical center in Nijmegen, auris appears to be less pathogenic than albicans, but once in the bloodstream, both are usually life-threatening. People with a healthy immune system seem to be able to clear up the fungus themselves.
