This study analyzed the correlation between the results obtained through two microdilution methods: Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) (M27-A2) and European Committee on Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) (document E. Dis. 7.1) and an agar base method Etest for determining minimmun inhibitory concentration (MIC) for amphotericin B and fluconazole against 30 clinical isolates of Candida spp. The agreement between Etest, CLSI and EUCAST MICs within +/- 2 log2 dilutions was higher for amphotericin B than for fluconazole However, Pearson correlation demonstrated a greater agreement for fluconazole. The categorical agreement between MICs provided by the Etest/ CLSI and Etest/EUCAST methodologies was high for both amphotericin B (100%) and fluconazole (> or = 96.66%). This study demonstrated the adequacy of Etest method using Mueller Hinton agar to evaluate amphotericin B and fluconazole susceptibility of clinical isolates of Candida spp.
