We have developed an 8 hr flow cytometry (FCM) method for assessing susceptibility of yeasts to amphotericin B (AmpB). The method detects both highlevel and relative-resistance to the drug. Variables found to affect fluorescence of control and AmpB treated cells included pH, presence of glucose, inc
Objective. -The increasing incidence of severe fungal infections and the difficulties encountered with the existing antifungal susceptibility testing methods led us to develop a new technique based on flow cytometry, using the fluorochrome FUN -1 ยฎ .
