Abstract
We compared two Candida auris screening strategies in high-risk patients. The positivity rates for point prevalence survey (PPS) and admission screening were similar: 3.9% versus 3.4%, respectively, P = 1.00. Approximately 3% of high-risk patients are colonized, thus there is a need for a universal infection prevention approach for C. auris.
