Get to know moreEUCAST has so far included five species/species groups in the breakpoint table for anaerobic bacteria; Bacteroides, Prevotella spp, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Clostridium perfringens and Cutibacterium acnes . This general consultation concerns additional agents (aminopenicillins, carbapenems, and…
Get to know moreEUCAST has defined ECOFFs and breakpoints for C. auris . The breakpoints for amphotericin B are S ≤0.001 mg/L; R>2 mg/L, thus classifying the entire wild-type population (ECOFF: 2 mg/L) as susceptible, increased exposure (“I”). Antifungal susceptibility testing of amphotericin B against C. auris…
