Climate Crisis Potential Cause For Superbug Spread A study has established a link between climate change and a multidrug resistant superbug. Candida auris first popped up in 2009 and is now in over
30 countries across 3 continents. The medical journal 'mBio' found that global warming may be at the center of the superbug’s rapidly growing presence. The research suggests that warmer climates are causing the fungi to adapt to high temperatures, including human
body temperatures. The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention believes the superbug poses a “serious global threat.”
