CLSI, EUCAST and Their Impact on Microbiology, Part 3: Fungal Susceptibility Testing and Resistance
Oct. 9, 2026, 10 a.m. ET
Discussions on how the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) affect microbiology will continue with a third and final webinar. Panelists will discuss how EUCAST and CLSI explore and determine the complex landscape of fungal susceptibility testing in the current clinical landscape. We will focus on Candida auris and fungal resistance—specifically mold testing, combination antifungal therapy and new antifungal agents in development.
