a

ECVs were defined for pooled distributions for ≥100 isolates from ≥3 laboratories using the methodology of CLSI document M38-A2 (25, 35).

b

AMB, amphotericin B; ITR, itraconazole; POS, posaconazole; VOR, voriconazole.

c

Calculated ECVs comprising ≥95%, ≥97.5%, and ≥99% of the statistically modeled population. ND, not determined (due to insufficient data).

d

MIC most frequently obtained for each distribution.
