Experts have been warning against the overuse of antibiotics for many years in fear that they could spawn dangerous superbugs, or drug-resistant bacteria. But more recently, fungi have begun to evolve defenses against medicines used to treat them as well. Candida auris, for one, is known to sweep hospitals and nursing homes, infecting the most vulnerable patients and resisting most antifungal drugs. Infectious disease experts braced themselves for the dangerous fungus before it reached the US in 2016, as they had seen it wreak havoc in other countries, Maryn McKenna wrote for Scientific American. Globally, more than 300 million people are infected with fungal diseases each year and 25 million are at high risk of dying or losing their sight more than annual deaths from malaria or tuberculosis, according to estimates by the Global Action Fund for Fungal Infections.
