Impact of In-house Candida auris Polymerase Chain Reaction Screening on Admission on the Incidence Rates of Surveillance and Blood Cultures With C. auris and Associated Cost Savings.

colonization on admission, we found a doubling of CA-POA rates, a subsequent decrease in CA-HOF rates, reduced TAT for PCR results, and more efficient use of infection control measures. In-house testing was cost-effective in a setting of relatively high prevalence among individuals with known risk factors.
