Antifungal susceptibility testing: practical aspects and current challenges.
Development of standardized antifungal susceptibility testing methods has been the focus of intensive research for the last 15 years. Reference methods for yeasts (NCCLS M27-A) and molds (M38-P) are now available. The development of these methods provides researchers not only with standardized methods for testing but also with an understanding of the variables that affect interlaboratory reprod...
متن کاملAntifungal Susceptibility Testing of Fusarium: A Practical Approach
In vitro susceptibility testing of Fusarium is becoming increasingly important because of frequency and diversity of infections and because resistance profiles are species-specific. Reference methods for antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) are those of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility (EUCAST), but breakpoints (BPs) h...
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...
متن کاملAntifungal 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. ...
