Broth dilution testing of Candida albicans susceptibility to ketoconazole

C E Hughes et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1987 Apr.

Abstract

We performed a detailed investigation of the kinetics of ketoconazole activity in the setting of broth dilution testing of Candida albicans susceptibility. Turbidimetric readings reflected parallel quantitative colony counts. The method of endpoint determination markedly affected the results. Determinations of 50% inhibitory concentrations clearly separated the ketoconazole-resistant strains from the susceptible strains.
