N2 - We compared Etest with broth microdilution testing for isavuconazole activity against 92 Cryptococcus isolates. A 97.8% agreement was found between these methods, without major discrepancies (>2-well dilution difference). Our findings support the use of the Etest methodology as a reliable method for the determination of MICs against Cryptococcus spp.
