Abstract

Azole-containing agar is used in routine Aspergillus fumigatus azole resistance screening. We evaluated the impact of the type of plastic used to prepare in-house agar plates on the procedure’s performance against A. fumigatus sensu stricto and cryptic species. A. fumigatus sensu stricto ( n = 91) and cryptic species ( n = 52) were classified as susceptible or resistant (EUCAST E.Def 9.3.2; clinical breakpoints v10).
