UNLV is looking to expand its wastewater analysis program to detect drug use levels, as well as health threats like Candida auris.
A small amount of evidence suggests that Candida auris — a potentially deadly fungus causing outbreaks in Southern Nevada — is spreading outside of medical settings, health authorities said.
Nevada lab scientists track the spread of potentially lethal Candida auris, which is becoming more resistant to current treatments.
Higher cases numbers are concerning, though a facility where a case of Candida auris is identified may not be where the patient acquired the germ.
