The "superbug" fungus, Candida auris, is emerging as a new menace in U.S. hospitals, mostly in New York and New Jersey, according to an article and video on the AP website.

Infections related to the fungas tend to be diagnosed in patients after they've been in hospitals for several weeks. The fungus can infect wounds, ears and the bloodstream.
A recent study found the fungus on surfaces in hospital rooms and on the skin of nurses and patients — even after patients were treated with antifungal medications.
