An interlaboratory evaluation (seven centers) of VITEK2 System and Sensititre YeastOne® was conducted to test the antifungal susceptibilities of yeasts. The MICs of amphotericin B, fluconazole, flucytosine, and voriconazole were determined for 70 isolates of Candida spp. Our results demonstrated a higher interlaboratory agreement of VITEK 2 System than Sensititre YeastOne©. A good concordance between the two methods was observed for amphotericin B, fluconazole, voriconazole and 5-fluorocytosine (from 81.4% to 88.6%). The study suggests the potential value of the VITEK2 System as a convenient alternative method for testing the susceptibility of yeasts. It also indicates the need for further optimization of MIC endpoint criteria to improve interlaboratory agreement.
开展了一项关于VITEK2系统和Sensititre YeastOne®的实验室间评估(七个中心),以检测酵母的抗真菌药敏性。对70株念珠菌属分离株测定了两性霉素B、氟康唑、氟胞嘧啶和伏立康唑的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)。我们的结果表明,VITEK 2系统的实验室间一致性高于Sensititre YeastOne©。两性霉素B、氟康唑、伏立康唑和5-氟胞嘧啶在两种方法之间观察到良好的一致性(从81.4%至88.6%)。该研究表明VITEK2系统作为检测酵母药敏性的便捷替代方法具有潜在价值。它还表明需要进一步优化MIC终点标准以提高实验室间的一致性。
