a

Wild-type MIC distributions for each species were obtained by using the CLSI broth microdilution method (M38-A2) and according to the recently identified testing conditions for Aspergillus spp. and isavuconazole: 48 h of incubation and 100% growth inhibition (24, 25). Values in boldface type indicate modes or most frequent MICs for each species. The following are species complexes, as per nonmolecular identification (21): A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. nidulans, A. niger, A. terreus, and A. versicolor.

b

Aspergillus section Usti comprised the following species, as per molecular identification: A. calidoustus (17 isolates), A. pseudodeflectus (2 isolates), A. ustus (2 isolates), and A. insuetus (1 isolate) (22, 23; Peláez et al., unpublished).
