Performance of VIPcheck after 24 h of incubation with uninhibited (++) growth as the threshold^a

^aPerformance of the VIPcheck after 24-h incubations for 96 Aspergillus fumigatus isolates: 45 azole susceptible and 51 azole resistant in two replicates. Performance is reported for each observer and series individually. “Mean all” is the mean of all sensitivities and specificities. “Mean technicians” is the mean performance for observers 1 to 4. Observers 1 and 2 were highly experienced mycology technicians, observers 3 and 4 were bacterial technicians without experience in mycology, and observers 5 and 6 were inexperienced interns.
