Lack of nurses blamed for the spread of Japanese fungus Nursing shortages have been blamed for the spread of a dangerous Japanese fungus through hospital wards.
More than 200 hospital patients have contracted the drug-resistant Candida auris fungus since it arrived in the UK four years ago.
A total of 20 NHS and private hospitals have reported cases of the potentially deadly fungus, including three large outbreaks, officials state.
King's College Hospital in South London was responsible for 31 of such cases during a year-long outbreak, figures show. The Daily Mail
