See the supplemental materials for ACM data for individual and multiple Aspergillus spp. Only baseline samples are included in this summary. CLSI, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute; EUCAST, European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration.

b

The denominator represents the number of patients whose isolates had that drug MIC (where patients had multiple isolates, the isolate with the highest baseline drug MIC was used); the numerator denotes the number of patients who died. The outcome for a patient whose last known survival status was determined before day 42 or was missing and whose last assessment day was before day 42 was treated as representing death.

c

Data include Lichtheimia corymbifera (n = 2 patients), Fonsecaea monophora, Chaetomium brasiliense, and Rhizopus oryzae.

d

Data include Penicillium piceum.
