scope:

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document M59 - Epidemiological Cutoff Values for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing includes the epidemiological cutoff value (ECV) and QC tables developed following the guidelines described in CLSI document M57, Principles and Procedures for the Development of Epidemiological Cutoff Values for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing.

These ECVs are only valid when developed following guidelines described in CLSI document M57, Principles and Procedures for the Development of Epidemiological Cutoff Values for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing and when minimal inhibitory concentrations/minimal effective concentrations are generated according to the CLSI reference broth dilution methods described in CLSI documents M27, Reference Method for Broth Dilution Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts and M38, Reference Method for Broth Dilution Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Filamentous Fungi.
