Is C. auris contagious outside a healthcare setting?
So it's not like you, or I are going to be walking down the street, and say hello to somebody, and shake hands (and get infected), that's not going to happen. You have to be in the hospital, and then you have to have the risk factors which I mentioned: they are on broad spectrum antibiotics, or they're on mechanical ventilation, or they've been in the intensive care unit for a period of time.
