A Pragmatic Approach to Susceptibility Classification of Yeasts without EUCAST Clinical Breakpoints

Journal of Fungi, 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
