a

MICs determined by the commercial bioMérieux Etest method according to the manufacturer’s instructions (13).

b

C. guilliermondii (Meyerozyma guilliermondii), C. kefyr (Kluyveromyces marxianus), C. krusei (Pichia kudriavzevii), C. lusitaniae (Clavispora lusitaniae), and the complexes of C. glabrata and C. parapsilosis.

c

The highest number in each row (showing the most frequently obtained MIC or the mode) is in boldface.

d

ECV was not defined for posaconazole and C. glabrata due to asymmetry in the aggregated MIC distribution.

e

Values ≥32 μg/ml.
