Unit Code 81602:
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Panel, Yeast
Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining in vitro quantitative antifungal susceptibility (minimum
inhibitory concentration; MIC) of nonfastidious yeast.
Testing may be warranted to 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)
