InVitro Susceptibility Testing of Geotrichum capitatum :Comparison of the E-Test, Disk Diffusion, and Sensititre ColorimetricMethods with the NCCLS M27-A2 Broth Microdilution ReferenceMethod

The in vitro activities of amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole against 23 isolates of Geotrichum capitatum were determined by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M27-A2 microdilution method and the Sensititre and agar diffusion methods. Amphotericin B and voriconazole appeared to be the more active drugs. Sensititre showed the highest rates of agreement with the NCCLS M27-A2 method.
