Novel 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 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 between E-test and CLSI broth microdilution method for antifungal susceptibility testing of Candida albicans oral isolates.
Thirty Candida albicans isolated from oral candidosis patients and 30 C. albicans isolated from control individuals were studied. In vitro susceptibility tests were performed for amphotericin B, fluconazole, 5-flucytosine and itraconazole through the Clinical and Laboratorial Standards Institute (CLSI) reference method and E test system. The results obtained were analyzed and compared. MIC valu...
متن کاملBroth dilution testing of Candida albicans susceptibility to ketoconazole.
We performed a detailed investigation of the kinetics of ketoconazole activity in the setting of broth dilution testing of Candida albicans susceptibility. Turbidimetric readings reflected parallel quantitative colony counts. The method of endpoint determination markedly affected the results. Determinations of 50% inhibitory concentrations clearly separated the ketoconazole-resistant strains fr...
متن کاملQuantitation of ergosterol content: novel method for determination of fluconazole susceptibility of Candida albicans.
MIC end points for the most commonly prescribed azole antifungal drug, fluconazole, can be difficult to determine because its fungistatic nature can lead to excessive "trailing" of growth during susceptibility testing by National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards broth macrodilution and microdilution methods. To overcome this ambiguity, and because fluconazole acts by inhibiting ergos...
