Clinical utility of antifungal susceptibility testing. [PDF]
JAC Antimicrob Resist, 2022 Abstract Invasive fungal diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality, in particular affecting immunocompromised patients. Resistant organisms are of increasing importance, yet there are many notable differences in the ability to both perform and interpret antifungal susceptibility testing compared with bacteria. In this review, we

Antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1993 Unlike antibacterial susceptibility testing, reliable antifungal susceptibility testing is still largely in its infancy. Many methods have been described, but they produce widely discrepant results unless such factors as pH, inoculum size, medium formulation, incubation time, and incubation temperature are carefully controlled.

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: Current Approaches. [PDF]
Clin Microbiol Rev, 2020 Although not as ubiquitous as antibacterial susceptibility testing, antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) is a tool of increasing importance in clinical microbiology laboratories. The goal of AFST is to reliably produce MIC values that may be used to guide patient therapy, inform epidemiological studies, and track rates of antifungal ...

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: A Primer for Clinicians. [PDF]
Open Forum Infect Dis, 2021 Abstract Clinicians treating patients with fungal infections may turn to susceptibility testing to obtain information regarding the activity of different antifungals against a specific fungus that has been cultured. These results may then be used to make decisions regarding a patient’s therapy.

Standardization of antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1996 The application of in-vitro antifungal susceptibility testing to clinical research and to the guidance of antifungal therapy has been limited by a lack of reproducibility and uncertain clinical relevance. As a result of studies of the identified variables impacting on in-vitro susceptibility results, the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory ...

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2009 In vitro tests employing microdilution to evaluate fungal susceptibility to antifungal drugs are already standardized for fermentative yeasts. However, studies on the susceptibility of dimorphic fungi such as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis employing this ...
