Fungal Spectrum Identified by a New Slide Culture and<i>In Vitro</i>Drug Susceptibility Using Etest in Fungal Keratitis

Abstract

Fusarium and Aspergillus are the most frequent pathogenic organisms in causing fungal keratitis, whereas other species of fungi can also cause corneal infection. In vitro Etest for assessing antifungal drug susceptibility is a simple and practical method and may provide referential information for clinical consideration of choosing antifungal agents to treat fungal keratitis.
