Antifungal Susceptibility Testing Methods: Non-Clsi Methods For Yeast And Moulds

There are defined methods for performing susceptibility testing that have been published by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) for yeast and moulds. There are commercially available products for performance of the recommended broth microdilution methods that are contained in those documents. These are described in Chapter 2 of this text. In addition, there are other available methods that are described in this chapter that are culture-based and non-culture-based. These include the use of disk diffusion, Etest, chromogenic media, and molecular methods.
