DALLAS - An untreatable 'superbug' fungus outbreak has been reported at two North Texas hospitals, the CDC reports.
Formally known as Candida Auris, the fungus is a form of yeast that can be deadly to hospital and nursing home patients who have serious medical problems.

auris cases at a nursing home dedicated to very sick patients included three that were resistant to all three kinds of antifungal medications.
