The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning of the rapid spread of an emerging fungus called Candida auris.

美国病控制和预防中心警告称，一叫做耳念珠菌的新真菌正在迅速蔓延。

Like when you look at the graphs on the CDC C. auris page, it is like, whoop, whoop, it's exponential growth right now.

就像你病控制与预防中心（CDC）关于耳念珠菌（C. auris）的图表时，会到，哇哦，哇哦，正是指数级增长的态势。

Candida auris is mostly found in hospitals, not just in the humans there, but also living on surfaces like tables or windowsills.

耳念珠菌主要在医院中发现，不仅存在于那里的者身上， 也存活于桌面或窗台等表面。

And if someone gets infected, Candida auris doesn't respond to most antifungal drugs.

而且如果有人被感染，耳念珠菌对大多数抗真菌药物都没有反应。

So the kind of most notable ones, and there are more than these two, but kind of the most notable ones are Candida auris, and we'll talk more about that later.

因此， 最引人注目的几， 虽然不止，但尤其值得一提的是白色念珠菌，我们稍后会详细讨论它。

And that being said, if you think aspergillus is bad, well, let me introduce you to a species of yeast called Candida auris.

而且我要说的是， 如果你认为烟曲霉已经很糟糕了，那让我给你介绍一下叫耳念珠菌的酵母菌吧。

We see resistance in C. auris, some strains, to almost all of the antifungals that we use.

我们发现，在某些菌株中，白色念珠菌对几乎所有我们使用的抗真菌药物都产生了耐药性。

Because all these different auris that are kind of getting into your kidneys, they're getting into your urine stream, they're getting into your bloodstream, they're sitting on your skin.

因为所有些不同的耳念珠菌都进入了你的肾脏，进入了你的尿液，进入了你的血液，还附着在你的皮肤上。

And according to the CDC, in 2023, there were 4,514 new clinical cases of C. auris in the U.S. in 2023.

根据美国病控制与预防中心的数据，2023年美国新增了4,514例耳念珠菌临床病例。

A lot of times the different strains of C. auris have resistance to begin with, but then it picks up new resistance.

很多时候， 不同菌株的耳念珠菌一开始就具有抗药性，但随后还会获得新的抗药性。

And with the rise of other strains of Candida, like Candida auris, which was first found only in 2009, it's a very, very new newly identified pathogen.

随着其他念珠菌株的出现，如2009年首次发现的耳念珠菌，是一极其新型且新近被识别的病原体。

Especially when it comes to C. auris, something like 13 to 35% of isolates are found to be resistant to essentially all the antifungals that we have.

特别是对于耳念珠菌，我们发现大约13%到35%的分离株对目前所有的抗真菌药物都产生了抗药性。
