Methods for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of the <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>/<i>C. gattii</i> Complex: Strengths and Limitations

Methods for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of the <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>/<i>C. gattii</i> Complex: Strengths and Limitations

When method-dependent categorical endpoints are available, namely either BPs or ECVs, MICs could aid in selecting the best treatment agent(s). BPs can categorize an isolate as either susceptible or resistant while the ECVs/ECOFFs can distinguish the wild type (WT, no known resistance mechanisms) fro...
