Just a little bit of googling will turn up the most important point. It's not generally a problem for healthy humans but can be dangerous in immunocompromised individuals thus a problem in health facilities with people who are sick.
The biggest problem is that its incredibly hard to get rid off so once you have an infection the whole facility might need to completely sterilised.

- klyrs 4y agoAs with all pathogens, the scary thing isn't necessarily what we're seeing now, it's what we might expect to see in the future. The more C. Auris infections occur, the more opportunity it has to mutate into something scarier. And yeah, confinement and sterilization is a huge expense.
