<p>ISO 16256:2012 describes a method for testing the susceptibility to antifungal agents of yeasts, including <i>Candida</i> spp. and <i>Cryptococcus neoformans,</i> that cause infections. The reference method described here has not been used in studies of the yeast forms of dimorphic fungi, such as <i>B. dermatitidis</i> and/or <i>H. capsulatum</i> variety <i>capsulatum</i>. </p>
<p>ISO 16256:2012 describes the broth microdilution reference method which can be implemented by either of two pathways. One pathway involves visual determination of MICs (CLSI method); the second pathway involves spectrophotometric determination of MICs (EUCAST method). </p>
