Antifungal Susceptibility Testing in Teaching Hospitals
Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2003BACKGROUND: An assessment of antifungal susceptibility testing (AST) has not been conducted since the introduction of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M27-A document. OBJECTIVE: To determine AST practices in teaching hospitals.

Antifungal Drug Susceptibility Testing
1989The 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 ...

Aspergillus – Classification and Antifungal Susceptibilities
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2013Aspergillus is one of the most important fungal genera for the man, for its industrial use, its ability to spoil food and not least its medical impact as cause of a variety of diseases. Currently hundreds of species of Aspergillus are known; nearly fifty of them are able to cause infections in humans and animals.

Biofilms and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing
2016Yeasts and filamentous fungi both exist as single cells and hyphal forms, two morphologies used by most fungal organisms to create a complex multilayered biofilm structure. In this chapter we describe the most widely used assays for the determination of biofilm production and assessment of susceptibility of biofilms to antifungal agents or host ...

Pathogenicity and antifungal susceptibility ofChaetomium species
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1995Several 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
Mycopathologia, 1984The 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 with dermatophytes
Mycoses, 1991Summary. The determination of the in vitro activity of antimycotics against dermatophytes has for long been considered as irrelevant from a practical point of view. Recently, however, this approach has been questioned. Various different tests such as agar diffusion test, agar dilution test and broth dilution test can be used for the determination of ...

Progress in Standardizing Antifungal Susceptibility Tests
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1989In 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 ...

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Dermatophytes
2021In order to help guide treatment, antifungal susceptibility testing is often performed in clinical microbiology laboratories. The results of these in vitro assays are used by clinicians to change therapy should resistance be detected, continue with current regimens with susceptible results, and as an aide in determining possible reasons for treatment ...
