Echinocandins and their Activity against
Aspergillus terreus
Species Complex: A Novel Agar Screening Method
Keyword(s):
We evaluated the newly proposed agar-screening method for echinocandin susceptibility testing of 144 Aspergillus section Terrei isolates in comparison with Etest®. Both methods defined the isolates to be wild type strains for anidulafungin and micafungin, with Etest® minimal effective concentrations (MECs) being ≤0.004 mg/L. For caspofungin, the novel agar-screening method identified 37 isolates to be caspofungin non-wild type based on their fluffy colony appearance on caspofungin agar. Etest® MECs for caspofungin for these isolates scattered widely from 0.002 to 0.750 mg/L, showing only partial accordance between the two methods.
