Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: Current Role from the Clinical Laboratory Perspective
Despite availability of many antifungal agents, antifungal clinical resistance occurs, perhaps as a consequence of an infecting organism found to be resistant in vitro to one or more antifungals tested. From what derives the important current role of the in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST), that is to determine which agents are like to be scarcely effective for a given infection. ...

متن کاملThe evolving role of antifungal susceptibility testing.
Although increasing numbers of hospital microbiology laboratories are performing antifungal susceptibility testing (AST), its routine use is uncommon. The utility of AST is founded on the belief that susceptibility (or resistance) of an agent allows some prediction of clinical outcome. This review provides an overview of the development of antifungal susceptibility testing methodology, includin...
متن کاملAntifungal susceptibility testing.
Antifungal susceptibility testing has been in routine use now for more than 15 years and has become a useful tool for clinicians who are faced with difficult treatment decision. Although most clinicians order susceptibility testing, much confusion still exists regarding the use of the results. Sufficient data have been generated to determine susceptibility trends for specific fungi against spec...
متن کاملPersonalized antifungal susceptibility testing.
Introduction In recent years, the remarkable increase in the number of infections caused by fungal pathogens, especially in immunocompromised people, has stimulated interest in medical mycology in general and in antifungal susceptibility testing in particular. 1,2 In-vitro procedures for determining the activity of drugs against mould and yeast isolates involve clinicians in the choice and moni...
