| Title | Müeller-Hinton methylene blue media as an alternative to RPMI 1640 for determining the susceptibility of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii to posaconazole with Etest. | | Author(s) | Alvarado-Ramírez E, Torres-Rodríguez JM, Murciano F, Sellart M | | Institution | Infectious Disease and Mycology Research Unit. Institut Municipal d 'Investigació Mèdica, Parc de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. | | Source | Mycoses 2009 Oct 26. | | Abstract | Summary 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. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
