Federal surveillance now reports drug-resistant Candida auris in 27 states, with 3,437 clinical cases logged nationally through the week ending July 25, 2026.
The geographic spread is the newest confirmed change, and it is worth reading carefully rather than dramatically. These are provisional counts subject to revision as laboratories complete reporting, and the year-to-date pace is running about 1,000 cases below the comparable point a year earlier, when roughly 4,290 cases had been recorded, according to ABC News reporting on federal data.
