Candida auris: A Growing Challenge in Clinical Microbiology and Infection Prevention
<p>Join us on September 15, 2026, for an educational Labroots webinar examining how <em>Candida auris</em> has emerged as a major healthcare-associated fungal pathogen and how accurate, timely laboratory identification is transforming diagnosis, infection prevention, and public health surveillance. This session will highlight real-world laboratory strategies for detecting <em>C. auris</em> and its role in guiding patient management and supporting antifungal stewardship efforts.</p><p>Discover more about the event and register here: <a class="fui-Link fai-bebop ___nh7ul80 f2hkw1w f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fcxq7iq f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv f1mo0ibp fjoy568 ff5ikls f1s184ao f1mk8lai fnbmjn9 f1o700av f13mvf36 f1ii9ogy f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f8sl8er f1eh06m1 fy5pjr5 fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1nev41a f132whgj f1v74mp6 f172z4z7 fqb5ada f1w9ysog" href="https://www.labroots.com/webinar/candida-auris-growing-challenge-clinical-microbiology-infection-prevention?campaign=crpevt" target="_blank"><em>Candida auris</em>: A Growing Challenge in Clinical Microbiology and Infection Prevention</a></p><p><strong> __</strong></p><p><strong>Agenda</strong> Tuesday, September 15, 2026<br>10:00 AM PT, 1:00 PM EDT, 7:00 PM CET</p><p><strong>Title</strong><br><em>Candida auris</em>: A Growing Challenge in Clinical Microbiology and Infection Prevention</p><p><strong>Speaker</strong></p><div style="align-items:flex-start;display:flex;gap:16px;"><img src="https://info.diasorin.com/hubfs/pancholi_HS197.png" data-entity-uuid="eef870a4-eab2-4074-8868-f44569b59015" data-entity-type="file" width="137" height="194"><div><strong>Preeti Pancholi, PhD, D(ABMM)</strong><br>Co-Director, Clinical Microbiology, Molecular Microbiology, and Micro-Processing Professor, Clinical Pathology The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, University Hospital East, Columbus, OH<br>Professor of Clinical Pathology, Department of Pathology, The Ohio State University, University Hospital East, Columbus, OH</div></div><p><strong>__</strong></p><p><em>Candida auris</em> is associated with significant morbidity and healthcare-associated transmission due to its ability to spread in healthcare settings, persist in the environment, and develop resistance to multiple antifungal agents, making accurate and timely identification critical to both patient management and infection prevention.</p><p>Partnering with Labroots, in this webinar, Preeti Pancholi, PhD, D (ABMM), will review the evolving epidemiology of <em>C. auris</em>, current diagnostic approaches including MALDI-TOF and molecular methods, and the growing challenge of antifungal resistance. The session will highlight practical laboratory strategies, diagnostic technologies, and collaborative practices needed to address this high-consequence pathogen.</p><p>Attendees will learn how to describe the epidemiology, transmission, and clinical significance of <em>Candida auris</em>; review current laboratory approaches for accurate identification and detection; and understand the impact of antifungal resistance and the laboratory's role in infection prevention and surveillance. This webinar is intended for clinical microbiology professionals, laboratory leaders, and infection prevention and stewardship collaborators seeking evidence-based solutions to address this emerging fungal threat.</p><p> </p><hr size="0" width="100%" align="center"><p><strong>Learning Objectives</strong></p><p>After participating in this webinar, attendees will be able to:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li style="tab-stops:list .5in;" data-list-item-id="e975dee02524c1f2cef1f8ca1d792fc18">Describe the epidemiology, transmission, and clinical significance of <em>Candida auris</em>.</li><li style="tab-stops:list .5in;" data-list-item-id="e9e1063a8c495f4cceafcd1180c1f76b2">Review current laboratory approaches for accurate identification and detection of <em>C. auris</em>.</li><li style="tab-stops:list .5in;" data-list-item-id="e0aa5396dfdb634d02a28f404eaeaf462">Discuss the impact of antifungal resistance and the laboratory’s role in infection prevention and surveillance</li></ul><p> </p><hr size="0" width="100%" align="center"><p>Register here: <a class="fui-Link fai-bebop ___nh7ul80 f2hkw1w f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fcxq7iq f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv f1mo0ibp fjoy568 ff5ikls f1s184ao f1mk8lai fnbmjn9 f1o700av f13mvf36 f1ii9ogy f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f8sl8er f1eh06m1 fy5pjr5 fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1nev41a f132whgj f1v74mp6 f172z4z7 fqb5ada f1w9ysog" href="https://www.labroots.com/webinar/candida-auris-growing-challenge-clinical-microbiology-infection-prevention?campaign=crpevt" target="_blank"><em>Candida auris</em>: A Growing Challenge in Clinical Microbiology and Infection Prevention</a></p>
