We compared the Neo-Sensitabs tablet assay to both reference M27-A2 broth microdilution and M44-A disk diffusion methods for testing susceptibilities of 110 isolates of Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans to amphotericin B, caspofungin, fluconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole. Neo-Sensitabs assay inhibition zone diameters in millimeters on three agars (Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with 2% dextrose and 0.5 microg/ml methylene blue [MGM], Shadomy [SHA], and RPMI 1640 [RPMI, 2% dextrose]) were obtained at 24 to 72 h. The correlation coefficient of Neo-Sensitabs results with MICs was similar to that of the disk method for most of the five agents on MGM (R, 0.80 to 0.89 versus 0.76 to 0.89, respectively). Overall, superior correlation was observed at 24 h for most agents. The exception was amphotericin B (R values of 0.68 and 0.5 for disk and tablet, respectively, at 48 h versus 0.68 and 0.48, respectively, at 24 h). In general, Neo-Sensitabs results were less consistent on SHA and RPMI agars. Although agreement by breakpoint category of Neo-Sensitabs and disk results with CLSI method M27-A2 was also similar on MGM (92.7 to 98.2% versus 95.5 to 100%, respectively), the Neo-Sensitabs method failed to identify two of the six isolates with high amphotericin B MICs. These data suggest the potential value of the Neo-Sensitabs assay for testing at least four of the five agents against yeasts evaluated in the clinical laboratory.
