Explanations to Table 2: Interpretation of the susceptibility to fluconazole according to EUCAST Breakpoint tables for the interpretation of MICs for antifungal agents, Version 10.0, valid from 4 February 2020 R, fluconazole-resistant strain I, susceptible, increased exposure to fluconazole * Candida guilliermondii is a species naturally having higher fluconazole MIC values than Candida albicans, and the epidemiological cut-off (ECOFFs) is 16 mg/L [4].
