Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the disc diffusion method on the clinical antifungal susceptibility test for yeast-like fungi.METHODS The fluconazole susceptibility test was detected by disc diffusion method and NCCLS broth microdilution method with 113 yeast-like fungus strains isolated from clinical specimens.Three standard strains were used as the quality control.RESULTS The coincidence rate of the two methods was 89.4%.The sensitive strains detected by one method didn′t show resistance in another detection method,and the resistant strains detected by one method yet didn′t show sensitivity in another one.CONCLUSIONS Disc diffusion method can be used in clinical detection instead of NCCLS broth microdilution method.
