Point Proven: Winning the Race Against Candida auris
Episode 2
Monday, 15 December, 2025
If Candida auris can spread silently through your facility, how do you stop it before it spreads too far? In this episode of Transmission Control, Blake Thomas, MPH, joins hosts Garrett Hollembeak and Jill Holdsworth to break down how point prevalence surveys (PPS) are a critical tool in identifying hidden transmission and containing risk. From setting clear screening criteria—like LTC/SNF exposure or missed isolation—to coordinating with lab, nursing, ID, and EVS teams, Blake shares how his team built a repeatable process for outbreak prevention. You'll hear how they overcame PPE fatigue, earned nursing buy-in, and empowered their "Swab Mob" to protect both patients and staff. Tune in to find out how this proactive approach helped turn a public health challenge into a system-wide win!
