Abbreviations: AmB, amphotericin B; 5-FC, flucytosine; Keto, ketoconazole; Itra, itraconazole; Vori, voriconazole; Posa, posaconazole; Ravu, ravuconazole; Casp, caspofungin; Mica, micafungin; Anid, anidulafungin; Terb, terbinafine; Isavu, isavuconazole. ++, good activity suggested based on consistently low MICs and testing against at least five isolates of a particular genus or species; +, potential/marginal activity suggested based on inconsistent MICs or very few isolates of a particular genus or species; −, no significant activity suggested based on consistently high MICs. The results do not represent formally defined CLSI breakpoints.
