Japanese fungus spreading in UK hospitals - BBC News: More than 200 patients have been infected, but none has died, Public Health England confirms.
"The first UK case emerged in 2013. Since then, infection rates have been going up - although it remains rare.
Candida auris is proving hard to stop because it has developed some resistance to the drug doctors normally use against it.
As of July, 20 separate NHS trusts and independent hospitals in the UK had detected Candida auris."
