ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERN OF MUCORMYCOSIS CAUSING PATHOGENS AGAINST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE ANTIFUNGALS Authors: Tandon T , JAIN P*, KUMAR T AND RANI N
ABSTRACT
Susceptibility testing is a tool that clinicians treating patients with fungal infections can use to learn
more about the effectiveness of various antifungals against a particular fungus that has been grown.
Decisions regarding the course of treatment for a patient may then be made using these results.
However, clinical breakpoints have not been determined for a large number of fungal species that have
the potential to cause invasive infections. Therefore, it is very important to have knowledge if the
antifungals are susceptible or resistant to any mold. This is particularly true for many molds that have
the potential to cause severe mycoses. The goal of this study is to give a general understanding of
susceptibility testing against mucoralean fungi.
