Abstract
Mueller-Hinton modified agar (MH-GMB) was compared with RPMI + 2% glucose-agar to determine the MICs of 80 isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii to posaconazole with Etest. MH-GMB minimised trailing and agreement between both media was 94%. Agreement of M27-A2 microbroth reference method was 98% with RPMI and 94% with MB-GMB.
