Comparison of broth macrodilution, broth microdilution, and E test antifungal susceptibility tests for fluconazole.
A comparison of the E test, the broth microdilution test, and the reference broth macrodilution susceptibility test of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards for fluconazole susceptibility testing was performed with 238 clinical isolates of Candida species and Torulopsis (Candida) glabrata. An 80% inhibition endpoint MIC was determined by the reference broth macrodilution meth...
متن کاملComparison of Etest and National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards broth macrodilution method for antifungal susceptibility testing: enhanced ability to detect amphotericin B-resistant Candida isolates.
The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) proposed macrobroth reference method (M27P) for susceptibility testing of yeasts is technically difficult. We evaluated Etest, a simple agar-based MIC methodology, as a possible alternative. In studies of six yeast quality control strains, Etest yielded results identical to those obtained by the NCCLS reference method for both amp...
متن کاملComparison study of broth macrodilution and microdilution antifungal susceptibility tests.
An evaluation of broth dilution antifungal susceptibility tests was performed by determining both the micro- and macrodilution MICs of amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, ketoconazole, and cilofungin against 38 isolates of Candida albicans, Candida lusitaniae, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Torulopsis glabrata. The following preliminary antifungal w...
متن کاملAntifungal susceptibility testing using the E test: comparison with the broth macrodilution technique.
The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards reference broth macrodilution method for antifungal susceptibility testing was compared with the E test by testing 86 clinical isolates of Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans. The MIC agreement rates for the two methods for Candida spp. were 73-89% within +/-1 doubling dilution and 87-100% within +/-2 dilutions. For C. neoformans, ag...
متن کاملComparison of E-test and broth microdilution methods for antifungal drug susceptibility testing of molds.
We compared the E test with a broth microdilution method, performed according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards document M27-A guidelines, for determining the in vitro susceptibilities of 90 isolates of pathogenic molds (10 Absidia corymbifera, 10 Aspergillus flavus, 10 Aspergillus fumigatus, 10 Aspergillus niger, 10 Aspergillus terreus, 10 Exophiala dermatitidis, 10 Fusar...
