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
