title: [Antifungal susceptibility testing in yeasts. Update and novelties].
abstract: This text reviews and updates the uses of the reference procedures for antifungal susceptibility testing in yeasts, the reliability of the commercial methods and the guidelines for the use of these procedures for patient management and for epidemiological reasons to determine the susceptibility profile and the emergence of resistances. Novelties in the procedures of setting clinical breakpoints of antifungal agents by both the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) and the US Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) are also reviewed.
