title: Altered susceptibility of Candida glabrata bloodstream isolates to triazoles at clinically relevant pH values: comparison of the NCCLS M27-A2, Sensititre YeastOne, and Etest methods.
abstract: We studied the MICs of triazoles against 15 Candida glabrata clinical isolates by the NCCLS M27-A2, Sensititre YeastOne, and Etest methods by using media at pHs 6.0, 7.0, and 7.4. Thirteen isolates were less susceptible to triazoles at pH 6.0 and more susceptible to triazoles at pH 7.4 compared to pH 7.0.
