Abstract

The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing-Subcommittee on Antifungal Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST-AFST) has revised the EDef 7.1 document on the method for the determination of broth dilution minimum inhibitory concentrations of antifungal agents for fermentative yeasts. Changes are: dimethylsulphoxide is now the recommended solvent for caspofungin, micafungin and fluconazole; the shelf-life of plates containing the echinocandins prepared from stock solutions in dimethylsulphoxide is extended to 6 months at -80°C; testing of amphotericin and Cryptococcus has been incorporated; and minimum inhibitory concentration ranges for quality control strains and anidulafungin are included.

  • Susceptibility tests were performed in at least three replicates following the EUCAST E.DEF 7.3.1 protocol.

    “Susceptibility tests were performed in at least three replicates following the EUCAST E.DEF 7.3.1. protocol.64”
  • Updated antifungal susceptibility testing reference methods identify echinocandin-resistant isolates reliably.

    “The updated antifungal susceptibility testing reference methods identify echinocandin resistant isolates reliably; while the performance of commercial tests is somewhat more variable.”

  • Antifungal susceptibility testing has been optimised over recent years.

    “Antifungal susceptibility testing has been optimised over the recent years and should be available real time for centres managing high-risk patients.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
