Infectious

Reporting Name

Susceptibility Panel, Yeast

Useful For

Determining in vitro quantitative antifungal susceptibility (minimum inhibitory concentration) of non-fastidious yeast

 

As an aid in the management of certain circumstances, such as:

-Refractory oropharyngeal infections due to Candida species in patients who appear to be experiencing therapeutic failure with standard agents at standard doses

-Invasive infections due to Candida species when the utility of azole antifungal agents is uncertain (eg, when the infection is due to a non-Candida albicans organism)

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
