Susceptibility Testing of Fungi to Antifungal Drugs [PDF]
Susceptibility testing of fungi against antifungal drugs commonly used for therapy is a key component of the care of patients with invasive fungal infections. Antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) has progressed in recent decades to finally become standardized and available as both Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and European ...

Candida Glabrata Fungaemia in a Tertiary Centre in Taiwan: Antifungal Susceptibility and Outcomes [PDF]
The proportion of non-albicans candidaemia has increased during recent decades, especially Candida glabrata. We evaluated the antifungal susceptibility, clinical features and outcome of C. glabrata fungaemia treated in a tertiary centre in Taiwan.

Issues in antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]
In line with the availability of an increasing array of systemic antifungal agents, there is a need for accurate, reproducible and predictive susceptibility testing of fungal isolates in order to help inform clinical choice. Much early attention on antifungal susceptibility testing focused on defining test parameters that produced reproducible and ...
