In Vitro Susceptibility to Posaconazole of 1,903 Yeast Isolates Recovered in France from 2003 to 2006 and Tested by the Method of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Abstract

The posaconazole MIC(90) for 1,903 yeast isolates from France was 1 microg/ml (range, < or =0.015 to 8 microg/ml). Ninety percent of isolates with fluconazole MICs of > or =8 microg/ml (n = 509) and 90% of those with voriconazole MICs of > or =2 microg/ml (n = 80) were inhibited by 2 and 8 microg/ml of posaconazole, respectively.
