The Candida auris fungus is spreading across the globe at an 'alarming' speed. This species of fungus, which can cause fatal infections in risk groups and was first discovered only ten years ago, can now be found all over the world. In nearly all cases, infections are contracted in hospitals, and the fungus has become resistant to all current drugs. Molecular biologist Auke de Jong, who is conducting research to try to understand the fungus, will be defending his PhD thesis on 22 December in the Agnietenkapel in Amsterdam.
