Drug Resistance Updates 11. What do when there are no CBPs Use ECVs to determine if the isolate is non-wt and less likely to respond to antifungal treatment, e.g. amphotericin B ECV = 2 µg/ml se (revisited) ndida parapsilosis cultured from valve tissue obtained at surgery (= prosthetic valve fungal endocarditis) Fluconazole MIC = 8 µg/ml (R) Voriconazole MIC =.5 µg/ml (I) Amphotericin B MIC =.5 µg/ml (probably WT strain) Avoid azoles Based on revised CBPs (CLSI M27-S4) Fungistatic drug not ideal for IE Summary CLSI and EUCAST methods are different but yield similar 24-h MICs CLSI and EUCAST CBPs have been harmonised to a large extent by using a similar evidence base Species-specific CBPs for common species Drug-specific CBPs in some instances ECVs have been determined for ndidaspecies (including many uncommon species) can use these cut-offs to detect potential mutants and for epidemiologic surveillance SASCM meeting, Protea Hotel ORT 6
