Abstract
The number of cases of Candida auris infection or carriage and of countries reporting cases and outbreaks increased in the European Union and European Economic Area during 2020 and 2021. Eight countries reported 335 such cases in 2020 and 13 countries 655 cases in 2021. Five countries experienced outbreaks while one country reported regional endemicity. These findings highlight the need for adequate laboratory capacity and surveillance for early detection of C. auris and rapid implementation of control measures.
