A superbug fungus is making its way into U.S. hospitals, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Named Candida auris, the bug enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body causing infection. Most of the 60 new cases in the U.S. have been found in New York and New Jersey hospitals.

The fungus can be passed from person-to-person or when a person touches an infected object.
