TABLE 1.
In vitro susceptibilities of 50 isolates to two antifungal agents as determined by Etest and broth microdilution methods
| Antifungal agent | Methoda | MIC range (μg/ml) | % of agreementb (± 2 log2 dilutions) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMB | BMD | 0.25-2 (μg/ml) | 86 |
| ET | 0.0020-25 (μg/ml) | ||
| CAS | BMD | 0.125-2 (μg/ml) | 90 |
| ET | 0.125-1.5 (μg/ml) |
a
BMD, broth microdilution; ET, Etest.
b
Percentage of agreement between the results is defined as the proportion of Etest MIC results that were within ± 2 log2 dilutions of the broth microdilution MIC results.
