Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the consistence of Sensititre YeastOne colorimetric panel and the reference broth microdilution method in in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) of Aspergillus. Methods In vitro AFST of 307 Aspergillus isolates were performed by reference CLSI M38-A2 method and Sensititre YeastOne YO10 panel parallelly, and the statistical parameters including essential agreement (EA), category agreement (CA) and error rates between these two methods in Aspergillus AFST were calculated. Results 98.4% (302/307) of Aspergillus isolates were wild type (WT) against tested six antifungal agents revealed by CLSI M38-A2 AFST, while Sensititre YeastOne detected 97.1% (298/307) isolates as totally WT. The EA regarding tested antifungals were over 90% between CLSI M38-A2 method and Sensititre YeastOne in this study except for Itraconazole. The CA of these two methods in Aspergillus AFST was 98.1% (301/307); the very major error (VME) rate and the major error (ME) were 0.3% (1/307) and 1.6% (5/307), respectively. Conclusion Sensititre YeastOne has a satisfied agreement with CLSI reference method in in vitro AFST of Aspergillus, which provides a prospect of applying Sensititre YeastOne into routine AFST of Aspergillus in clinical laboratories.
