Comparison between the EUCAST procedure and the Etest for determination of the susceptibility of Candida species isolates to micafungin.
We compared the ability of the EUCAST EDef 7.2 and the Etest to detect the susceptibility to micafungin of 160 Candida and non-Candida clinical isolates. Agreement was higher when Etest MICs were obtained after 24 h of incubation; essential agreement was 90%, and categorical agreement was >90%. False susceptibility was seen only for Candida krusei (10%), and false resistance was observed in 6% ...
متن کاملCorrelation between microdilution, Etest, and disk diffusion methods for antifungal susceptibility testing of fluconazole against Candida sp. blood isolates.
INTRODUCTION Antifungal susceptibility testing assists in finding the appropriate treatment for fungal infections, which are increasingly common. However, such testing is not very widespread. There are several existing methods, and the correlation between such methods was evaluated in this study. METHODS The susceptibility to fluconazole of 35 strains of Candida sp. isolated from blood cultur...

15 صفحه اولComparison 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...
