a

Differences in the antifungal susceptibilities obtained by CLSI and Etest procedures reached statistical significance for P values of <0.05.

b

MICs for 1 D. capitatus isolate were read after 3 days (CLSI) or 4 days (Etest) of incubation due to poor fungal growth.

c

NS, nonsignificant.

d

MICs for 2 R. mucilaginosa isolates were read after 7 days (CLSI and Etest) due to poor fungal growth.

e

MICs for 5 S. cerevisiae isolates were read after 5 days (CLSI) due to poor fungal growth.

f

MICs for 3 Trichosporon isolates were read after 3 days (CLSI) or 4 days (Etest) due to poor fungal growth.
