"Comparison of Three Methods for Testing Azole Susceptibilities of Candida albicans Strains Isolated Sequentially From Oral Cavities of AIDS Patients."

According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Journal of Clinical Microbiology, "Three susceptibility testing procedures were compared to determine fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole MICs against 47 Candida albicans strains isolated sequentially from the oral cavities of five AIDS patients undergoing azole therapy. They included the broth microdilution method (BM), performed according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards' tentative standard, the agar dilution method (AD), and the Etest; the latter two tests were performed both in Casitone agar (AD-Cas and Etest-Cas) and in RPMI (AD-RPMI and Etest-RPMI).
