Abstract

Candida Auris is a pathogen that can express multiple virulence factors and is considered a significant menace to the Intensive Care Unit environment. In this work, we propose to model its growth with a computationally randomized Fisher Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piskunov partial differential equation. We calibrate the model using in vitro growth data and provide statistical features. We also evaluate the efficacy of a regular and uniform cleaning strategy with vaporized hydrogen peroxide to control Candida Auris’ population in ICUs.
