TABLE 3.
Interlaboratory agreement rates and correlation coefficients (IeCCs) for each yeast or mold tested
| Fungus | Value for MIC50/value for MIC100 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Agreement of ΣFICI interpretation (%)a,c | IeCCb | |
| Candida species | 76/86 | 0.868/0.962 |
| Aspergillus fumigatus | 73/90 | 0.861/0.978 |
a
Agreement was calculated as the percentage of the number of the most frequent categorized ΣFICI values divided by the number of all ΣFICI values.
b
Calculated at a 99% confidence interval.
c
The agreement rates at the 100% inhibition level were statistically significantly higher than those at the 50% inhibition level (P < 0.05).
