The next pandemic could be a sometimes deadly, yeast-like fungal infection known as Candida Auris, say experts who describe it as a nearly “perfect pathogen.”<\/p>\n
The fungus can be fatal, particularly if it enters the bloodstream, typically through catheters or other tubes entering the body in healthcare settings, according to the CDC. <\/p>\n
It was first identified in 2009 and is almost impervious to antifungal drugs, according to Johanna Rhodes, an epidemiologist with London’s Imperial College.<\/p>\n
Rhodes, who helped tackle a 2016 outbreak of Candida auris in England, said it’s not just the fungus’ resistance to drugs which makes it impressive.<\/p>\n
