COCA Call: Thurs., 9/18 - The path of yeast resistance: Drug-resistant Candida on the rise

September 17, 2025

Candida is a yeast that can cause infections ranging in severity. Antifungal resistance among Candida is growing, particularly for specific species such as Candida auris and Candida parapsilosis. These two species also spread more easily between patients in healthcare settings compared with other species of Candida. Awareness of this issue is essential for clinicians, as it can guide testing practices and clinical treatment decisions.

During this COCA call, presenters will share current evidence demonstrating the increase in antifungal resistance among C. auris and C. parapsilosis and discuss recommendations for testing and treatment.
