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.
