While I have no specific information regarding C. auris, this is exactly the kind of problem going forward we need to expect as a hangover from peak centralization. Particularly in agriculture and medical industry, corporate profits have caused very poor cultural practices like provisioning antibiotics for no other reason that boosting growth rates to be standard operating procedures, and we see multidrug resistant pathogens a direct result, including C. auris.

The only mechanism I can immediately see to combat C. auris specifically is CRISPR being used to create predatory virii, or competing species that can be used to suppress the fungus until the natural immune response can functionally control it. It is essentially ineffable to predict what can and will be done by ordinary civilians once CRISPR sufficiently penetrates the market, but it is impossible that extant life sciences industries will remain profitable in their present niches and configurations.

That is a good thing. The devastation being wrought on global ecosystems by corporations that will gladly cause mass extinctions for negligible improvement in profit will end when the populations no longer need food produced industrially. Lab grown meat, aquaponics you can run in a closet, and similar technologies are going to cause Big Agra to go extinct, rather than half the insect species in the world, probably reducing the severity of the Sixth Global Extinction event presently ongoing - and that can be entirely laid at the feet of corporate profiteering.

Let's hope better minds than ours armed with CRISPR can begin delivering independent solutions to all pathogenic problems, as that will not only end the plague of misdevelopment that results from Big Agra, but put an end to the the mandatory vaccination push that threatens to turn us all into nothing more than chattel.

Thanks!
