TABLE 1.
Correlation between NCCLS MICs and predicted MICs on 2% SabDex agar with 8 μg of fluconazole per ml
| Predicted 2% SabDex agar MIC (μg/ml) | No. (%) of cultures for which NCCLS MIC (μg/ml) was:
|
|
|---|---|---|
| <8 (n = 81) | ≥8 (n = 10) | |
| <8 | 72 (89) | 1a |
| ≥8 | 9b | 9 (90) |
a
The NCCLS MIC for this C. neoformans isolate was 8 μg/ml.
b
The NCCLS MICs for one, three, and five C. neoformans isolates were 1, 2, and 4 μg/ml, respectively. The NCCLS MICs for 78% of the C. neoformans isolates predicted to be mycologically resistant were ≥4 μg/ml.
