A Pragmatic Approach to Susceptibility Classification of Yeasts without EUCAST Clinical Breakpoints
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2022 EUCAST has established clinical breakpoints for the six most common Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans but not for less common yeasts because sufficient evidence is lacking. Consequently, the question “How to interpret the MIC?” for other yeasts

Development and preliminary validation of a modified EUCAST yeast broth microdilution MIC method with Tween 20-supplemented medium for rezafungin [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2023 BACKGROUND Rezafungin is a novel, once-weekly echinocandin. EUCAST rezafungin MIC testing has been associated with a good separation of WT and target gene mutant isolates in single-centre studies, but an unacceptable inter-laboratory MIC variation has ...

Multicenter evaluation of low inoculum and a colorimetric assay for antifungal susceptibility testing of Aspergillus fumigatus to echinocandins with the EUCAST E.Def 9.4 [PDF]
Journal of Clinical MicrobiologyEchinocandin minimal effective concentration (MEC) determination for Aspergillus is challenging with the EUCAST method. We investigated the applicability of a lower inoculum (103 CFU/mL) and a colorimetric assay for micafungin and anidulafungin against ...
