🦠 Candida parapsilosis poses a rising threat in hospitals. @AmeliaBarberPhD|s team developed a fast, cost-effective method to identify drug-resistant strains—key for better control. Study in @LancetMicrobe. #FungalInfections #Healthcare @LeibnizHKI

[Universität Jena @UniJena]

In a study, a research team @microverse_exc @UniJena highlights the growing threat posed by the multi-resistant yeast Candida parapsilosis. Especially at risk are hospitalised patients with pre-existing conditions, the team writes in @LancetMicrobe.
