This yeast shows a high level of resistance to several antifungal agents commonly used to treat systemic infections. The pathogen persists on contaminated surfaces, tolerates hospital\u2010grade disinfectants, survives desiccation and spreads easily through direct or indirect contact. It has been reported on all five continents and is increasingly prevalent in Europe.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n \n To determine the distribution and antifungal susceptibility\/resistance of\n Candida auris<\/jats:italic>\n isolates identified in Europe until January 2025.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta\u2010Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Searches were conducted in EBSCOhost, MEDLINE\/PubMed, Scopus and SciELO databases using the terms \u2018\n Candida auris<\/jats:italic>\n \u2019 and \u2018\n Candidozyma auris<\/jats:italic>\n \u2019, combined with the name of each European country. It was limited to English or Spanish articles published until 31 January 2025, excluding reviews, meta\u2010analyses and book chapters.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Ninety\u2010one articles reporting antifungal susceptibility were retrieved, covering 2191 clinical isolates of\n C.\u2009auris<\/jats:italic>\n from 16 countries. Most isolates were from Spain (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009886, 40.44%), Italy (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009553, 25.24%), Greece (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009214, 9.77%), the United Kingdom (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009182, 8.31%) and Russia (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009108, 4.93%), accounting for 88.68% of cases. The remaining 248 isolates (11.32%) were reported across 11 other countries. Fluconazole resistance was found in 90.51% (1555\/1718), while resistance to amphotericin B and echinocandins was 13.17% (223\/1693) and 4.57% (76\/1693), respectively.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Candida auris<\/jats:italic>\n has been predominantly detected in Southern Europe, where the majority of clinical isolates exhibit resistance to fluconazole. Consensus is essential for timely diagnosis, targeted treatment and infection control to prevent its spread.
