Abstract: Emerging antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) Candida auris presents a formidable global health challenge, causing severe healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) with high mortality rates. Its ability to colonize surfaces and resist standard disinfectants undermines traditional hygiene practices, prompting an urgent need for new strategies. Ultraviolet C (UVC) light offers a promising approach with rapid and broad-spectrum germicidal efficacy. This review examines current literature on UVC LED technology in combating… Show more
