Abstract
Background Candida auris is a globally emerging yeast, causing severe infections in patients with underlying diseases. This yeast is responsible for several outbreaks within healthcare facilities, where it can be found on hospital surfaces and patient care devices. Spread from these fomites may be prevented by improving the decontamination of hospital surfaces. UV‐C decontamination may constitute an effective adjunct to routine room cleaning. Objectives Our aim was to investigate the effect of different UV‐C exposure times and distance in killing C auris, using strains from different countries.
