TI  - Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Fusarium: A Practical Approach.
LID - 10.3390/jof3020019 [doi]
LID - 19
AB  - In vitro susceptibility testing of Fusarium is becoming increasingly important 
      because of frequency and diversity of infections and because resistance profiles 
      are species-specific. Reference methods for antifungal susceptibility testing 
      (AFST) are those of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and 
      European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility (EUCAST), but breakpoints 
      (BPs) have not yet been established. One of the problems is that phylogenetic 
      distances between Fusarium species are much smaller than between species of, 
      e.g., Candida. Epidemiological cutoff values (ECVs) for some Fusarium species 
      have been determined in order to differentiate wild-type from non-wild-type 
      isolates. In clinical routine, commercially available assays such as Etest, 
      Sensititre or others provide essential agreement with reference methods. Our 
      objective is to summarize antifungal susceptibility testing of Fusarium genus in 
      the clinical laboratory: how to do it, when to do it, and how to interpret it.
