ABSTRACT:
A method for testing the susceptibility of fungi to antifungal agents comprises inoculating a non-nutrient material, such as agar, with a fungus. A number of disks impregnated with various types and concentrations of antifungal agents and the proper nutrient medium for the type of fungus and antifungal agent tested is placed upon the non-nutrient medium inoculated with fungus. After an incubation period, the plates are read to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of the particular antifungal agent for the particular fungus. The minimum fungicidal concentration can also be determined upon further incubation.
