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

New definitions of susceptibility categories EUCAST 2019: clinic application
In January 2019, the European Committee for the Study of Antimicrobial Susceptibility (EUCAST) introduced some changes in the definitions of clinical categories for antibiotic susceptibility. The objective of these changes was to improve the credibility of category “I”, optimizing and lengthening the survival and use of available antibiotics in the ...
