C. albicans was the most frequent species (56.6 ), followed by C. glabrata (22.8 ), C. tropicalis (9.9 )andc. parapsilosis (3.5 ). The MIC of fluconazole (FLCZ), itraconazole, voriconazole and flucytosine against Candida and other yeast species were determined by the Japanese Society for Medical Mycology (JSMM) microdilution method and the NCCLS M27-A2 microdilution method. Percent resistant by using the interpretive breakpoint criteria of NCCLS to FLCZ was 47 for C. tropicalis and around 5 for other Candida species including C. albicans and C. glabrata when tested by JSMM assay method, while the values were lowered to 0 to 4 for all Candida species when tested by the NCCLS M27-A2 protocol. A similar trend was also seen with the two other azole antifungal drugs. A di#erence in the results obtained between the two assay methods appeared to be due to trailing growth isolates whose azole-susceptibility is usually underestimated in the former method. This study showed that in vitro resistance to these azole antifungal drugs remains uncommon in almost all Candida species. Vol. 14 No
