title: In vitro activities of various antifungal drugs against Aspergillus terreus: Global assessment using the methodology of the European committee on antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
abstract: This study presents in vitro susceptibility data for clinical (n = 48) and environmental (n = 31) isolates of Aspergillus terreus against nine antifungal agents. The methodology of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing was applied. Posaconazole and anidulafungin had the lowest and amphotericin B the highest MICs. No differences in susceptibility patterns were observed between environmental and clinical isolates.
