چکیده

The ability of Sensititre YeastOne to discriminate isolates with reduced caspofungin susceptibility was determined against 36 Candida spp. (6 with a known FKS1 mutation). Results were compared with those of M27-A2. The MIC endpoint was 100% growth inhibition. Overall agreement (+/-2 log2) was 87.16%. Sensititre YeastOne detected strains with reduced caspofungin susceptibility.

Altered susceptibility of Candida glabrata bloodstream isolates to triazoles at clinically relevant pH values: comparison of the NCCLS M27-A2, Sensititre YeastOne, and Etest methods.

We studied the MICs of triazoles against 15 Candida glabrata clinical isolates by the NCCLS M27-A2, Sensititre YeastOne, and Etest methods by using media at pHs 6.0, 7.0, and 7.4. Thirteen isolates were less susceptible to triazoles at pH 6.0 and more susceptible to triazoles at pH 7.4 compared to pH 7.0.

Flow cytometry susceptibility testing for the antifungal caspofungin.

Rapid antifungal susceptibility testing for the antifungal agent caspofungin can be performed using flow cytometry (FC). An FC procedure using acridine orange provided minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) results within 7 to 9 h which were compared with results obtained using the NCCLS M27-A2 protocol. To evaluate the consistency of this method, susceptibility testing using caspofungin was pe...
