3 EUCAST BP establishing procedure MIC distributions Per species Several data sets Epidemiological Cut Off Value (ECOFF) MIC-clinical outcome relationships Per species For wild type and non-wild type isolates PK/PD defining the important parameter and ratio (AUC/MIC, Peak/MIC, Time/MIC) are non wild type covered during standard dosing? BP never higher than ECOFF unless supported by data

4 EUCAST Candida BPs Breakpoints (BPs): S: X / R: >Y Antifungal agent C. albicans C. glabrata C. krusei MIC breakpoint (mg/l) C. parapsilosis C. tropicalis C. guilliermondii Non-species related breakpoints Ampho. B / / / / / IE IE Anidulafungin./../../. -*./. IE IE Fluconazole / IE* - / / IE / Posaconazole./. IE IE./../. IE IE Voriconazole./. IE IE./../. IE IE denotes the MICs for this species is generally higher than those for C. albicans denotes that voriconazole should be reserved for situations where fluconazole is not appropriate - denotes the organism is regarded a poor target for the antimicrobial agent Current revision proposals *For C. glabrata and fluconazole it is proposed to categorise mg/l as I and > mg/l as R *For C. parapsilosis and anidulafungin it is proposed to categorise mg/l as I and > mg/l as R Breakpoints under development: Micafungin and Candida
