a

MICs were pooled from three or four of the six collaborating laboratories that submitted qualifying data for each cryptococcal group.

b

MICs as determined by the CLSI broth microdilution method using standard RPMI 1640 broth.

c

ECVs comprising ≥95% and ≥97.5% of the statistically modeled MIC population.

d

Most frequent MIC.

e

C. gattii comprises the VGI through VGIV (also known as AFLP4 through AFLP7 and AFLP10) genotypes.
