Popis: The incidence of Candida auris, an emerging multidrug resistant fungal species, is increasing. The ability of this yeast to colonize the human skin could lead to infections. Identifying agents to reduce the skin fungal burden is critical. Chlorhexidine formulated in a new Advanced Performance Technology formulation (APT-CH) was significantly more effective than untreated controls. Additional studies are warranted.
