Evaluation of two commercial methods for the susceptibility testing of Candida species: Vitek 2 ® and Sensititre YeastOne®.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the limited isolates tested, we concluded that both methods have good performance and are reliable for antifungal susceptibility testing. However, caspofungin activity against C. krusei and C. glabrata should be interpreted carefully when using Sensititre YeastOne® because we observed a low CA.
