Antifungal Susceptibility Testing Methods

Current Drug Targets, 2005
The number of systemically active antifungal agents has increased dramatically in recent years in response to the challenge of invasive mycoses. Additional work is needed to better understand the mechanisms of action of these agents as well as the mechanisms of resistance expressed by the fungal pathogens.

Epidemiology of antifungal susceptibility: Review of literature

Journal de Mycologie Médicale, 2018
Fungal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite the latest developments of diagnostic tools and therapeutic options. Early initiation of the appropriate antifungal therapy has been demonstrated to have a direct impact on the patient's outcome. Antifungal susceptibility testing methods are available to detect antifungal resistance

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: The Times They Are A-Changing

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 2019
Antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) has never been as mainstream as antibacterial susceptibility testing. That may soon change. We are in an unprecedented era of antifungal development which could change the usefulness of and demand for AFST. Here we lay out an argument for increased AFST capacity, discuss new antifungals that are likely to appear

Pathogenicity and antifungal susceptibility ofChaetomium species

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1995
Several reports have been published implicating Chaetomium spp. as opportunistic pathogens. A critical review of these cases was made, and the majority of the responsible strains were studied. Chaetomium globosum was the most common species, being isolated in at least nine clinical cases of infection.

Antifungal Drug Susceptibility Testing

1989
The continuing introduction of new antifungal drugs has increased the demand for methods of in vitro testing that can predict the effects of compounds in vivo. As with antibacterial drugs, tests designed to ascertain the minimum amount of drug needed to inhibit the growth of organisms in vitro (minimum inhibitory concentration, or MIC) have often been ...

Antifungal drug susceptibility testing

Mycopathologia, 1984
The advent of new antifungal drugs provides clinicians with therapeutic options, and it is anticipated requests for fungal susceptibility testing in vitro will increase. Our own laboratory's experience indicates that results can be provided promptly even to distant medical centers.

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: A Primer for Clinicians

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2012
Antifungal susceptibility testing is not as commonly performed as antibacterial susceptibility testing. The methodology for detecting antifungal resistance is newer and requires different testing supplies that may not be readily available in a clinical laboratory setting. Breakpoints for molds are lacking.

Progress in Standardizing Antifungal Susceptibility Tests

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1989
In vitro tests of antifungal agents are receiving increasing attention as important procedures for the clinical laboratory. As antifungal agents proliferate, it will become more and more valuable to have available antifungal susceptibility tests to aid in treatment selections based on the specific activities of different drugs against a patient's own ...
