Antifungal Susceptibility Testing

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2006
Antifungal susceptibility testing has been in routine use now for more than 15 years and has become a useful tool for clinicians who are faced with difficult treatment decision. Although most clinicians order susceptibility testing, much confusion still exists regarding the use of the results.

In Vitro Antifungal Susceptibility Testing

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2001
With the rising frequency of fungal infections, as well as increasing reports of resistance to antifungal agents, it is imperative that clinically applicable antifungal susceptibility testing be available. In 1997 the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards published standard guidelines for antifungal susceptibility testing of Candida sp ...

Biofilms and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing

2016
Yeasts 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 ...

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.

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing in Teaching Hospitals

Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2003
BACKGROUND: 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

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 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.

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 with dermatophytes

Mycoses, 1991
Summary. 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 ...
