Abstract:
A rapid method of susceptibility testing of yeasts to 5-fluorocytosine is demonstrated. The method is based on photometric determination of the optical density of yeast suspensions before and after incubation for 4 h in the presence of the antifungal. The method was evaluated with 50 Candida strains.
