Comparative evaluation of FUNGITEST and broth microdilution methods for antifungal drug susceptibility testing of Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans.
The FUNGITEST method (Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur, Paris, France) is a microplate-based procedure for the breakpoint testing of six antifungal agents (amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole). We compared the FUNGITEST method with a broth microdilution test, performed according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards document M27-A gui...
متن کاملNovel fluorescent broth microdilution method for fluconazole susceptibility testing of Candida albicans.
A comparative evaluation of the reference National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) broth microdilution method with a novel fluorescent carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA)-modified microdilution method for the susceptibility testing of fluconazole was conducted with 68 Candida strains, including 53 Candida albicans, 5 Candida tropicalis, 5 Candida glabrata, and 5 Candida para...
متن کاملMulticenter comparison of the VITEK 2 yeast susceptibility test with the CLSI broth microdilution reference method for testing fluconazole against Candida spp.
A fully automated commercial antifungal susceptibility test system (VITEK 2 yeast susceptibility test; bioMerieux, Inc., Hazelwood, Mo.) was compared in three different laboratories with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) reference broth microdilution (BMD) method by testing two quality control strains and a total of 426 isolates of Candida spp. (103 to 135 clinical isolates in ...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of alternative methods for broth dilution susceptibility testing of fluconazole against Candida albicans.
A comparative evaluation of methods for broth macro- and microdilution susceptibility testing of fluconazole was conducted with 119 clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Macro- and microdilution testing were performed according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards recommendations. For reference macrodilution testing, an 80% inhibition endpoint (MIC 80%) was determined after ...
متن کاملComparison 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...
