Deadly 'superbug' spreads globally as US hospitals grapple with growing resistance crisis

A deadly, drug-resistant fungus known as 'superbug' Candida auris is rapidly spreading across US hospitals and becoming increasingly threatening worldwide due to its growing resistance to antibiotics and antifungals. Researchers warn that if left unchecked, the spread of this superbug could have devastating consequences for public health. However, scientists are exploring new treatments, including experimental medications and vaccines, which may offer hope in combating this deadly fungus.
