Antifungal susceptibility testing is a process used to determine the effectiveness of drugs and other compounds against live cultures of fungi. Such tests are used to evaluate antifungal drugs so that effective treatments can be prescribed. Such tests are also used in laboratory demonstrations and to compare the effectiveness of new compounds against established standards.
Mycology Online from the University of Adelaide in Australia offers three professional quality articles on antifungal susceptibility testing:
