DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2018.02.014
Abstract: OBJECTIVES We reviewed the antifungal susceptibility testing results of local yeast isolates (2001-2015) to record the impact of recently updated interpretive criteria and epidemiological cut-off values (ECVs) for yeast species. METHODS Susceptibility testing was performed… read more here.

1599. Clinical Outcomes for Patients Treated with Fluoroquinolones for Bacteremia Caused by Enterobacteriaceae Reclassified as Not Susceptible by Updated CLSI Breakpoints
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Open Forum Infectious Diseases"
DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofaa439.1779
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance remains a pressing public health challenge. Antibiotic susceptibility testing is crucial to identify resistance and predict which antibiotics are most likely to be effective. In vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are interpreted using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aac.00485-17
Abstract: ABSTRACT Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast. So far, all but two susceptibility testing studies have examined ≤50 isolates, mostly with the CLSI method. We investigated CLSI and EUCAST MICs for 123 C. auris… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0266416
Abstract: Background Diabetic patients are at risk of severe urinary tract infections (UTIs). Due to the emerging resistance rates to fluoroquinolones and β-lactams, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of β-lactams versus fluoroquinolones as empirical therapy… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof4030103
Abstract: Azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is most frequently conferred by mutations in the cyp51A gene encoding 14α-sterol demethylases. TR34/L98H and TR46/Y121F/T289A are the two most common mutations associated with environmental resistance selection. We studied the… read more here.
