Abstract

The performance of broth dilution method and agar dilution method were compared by MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) and MFC (minimal fungicidal concentration) from Candida strains to polyene and imizadole anti-fungal agents. The concordance between these methods was drug dependent. The best percent of concordance were showed when the polyenes were tested. The problems of sensitivity test for yeasts to antifungal drugs are discussed
