Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document M27-A3—Reference Method for Broth Dilution Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts; Approved Standard—Third Edition describes a method for testing the susceptibility of antifungal agents to yeast that cause invasive fungal infections, including Candida spp. (and Candida glabrata), and Cryptococcus neoformans. Selection and preparation of antifungal agents, implementation and interpretation of test procedures, and the purpose and implementation of quality control procedures are discussed. A careful examination of the responsibilities of the manufacturer and the user in quality control is also presented. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).

The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute consensus process, which is the mechanism for moving a document through two or more levels of review by the health care community, is an ongoing process. Users should expect revised editions of any given document. Because rapid changes in technology may affect the procedures, methods, and protocols in a standard or guideline, users should replace outdated editions with the current editions of CLSI/NCCLS documents. Current editions are listed in the CLSI catalog and posted on our website at www.clsi.org.
