ABSTRACT:
An assay and test kit for testing and quantifying fungal inhibition by an antifungal agent. In the assay, inhibition is measured by a reduction in substrate uptake (such as glucose) as compared to uninhibited controls. A minimum inhibitory concentration value for each antifungal agent is obtained from the assay.
