Your institution is reminded to stay vigilant against the transmission of this organism among residents. In Hong Kong, C. auris colonisation is first identified in June 2019 from a patient with travel history to Switzerland. Since July 2020, outbreaks of C. auris colonisation were reported in Princess Margaret Hospital and Yan Chai Hospital. From 29 June 2020 to 9 October 2020, a total of 41 patients with C. auris colonisation have been reported to the Infection Control Branch of CHP by HA for infection control advice after discharge to residential care homes. C. auris is an emerging multi-drug resistant yeast that can cause invasive infections associated with high mortality. Treatment is relatively difficult as C. auris is resistant to many of the anti-fungal drugs.
