More Details: ABSTRACT We used a Vitek 2 AST–YS08 (YS08) system and the broth microdilution method (BMD) adopted by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) to compare the susceptibility of 184 isolates of 11 Candida species to fluconazole, voriconazole, micafungin, caspofungin, amphotericin B, and flucytosine. In Candida albicans, the categorical agreement (CA) was 79.2%, 91.7%, 95.8%, and 95.8% for fluconazole, voriconazole, micafungin, and caspofungin, respectively. About 12.5% and 4.2% of very major errors were detected for fluconazole and voriconazole, respectively. C. glabrata showed excellent essential agreements (EAs) (>90%) for azoles but different MIC distributions for fluconazole and caspofungin. The CA between BMD fluconazole MICs and YS08 voriconazole MICs by the method-specific clinical breakpoint (CBP) was 90% in C. glabrata. Over 80% of C. glabrata and C. krusei isolates identified as micafungin–susceptible were labeled intermediate or resistant to caspofungin in YS08. In C. parapsilosis, 5.3% of very major errors and 10.5% of minor errors were found, whereas 33.3% of minor errors were observed in C. tropicalis for fluconazole. For C. tropicalis, 13 (61.9%) non-wild type (WT) isolates of fluconazole and 7 (33.3%) non-WTs of voriconazole were classified in YS08 as WT. For C. auris, the EAs were 93.3%, 100%, 82.2%, 97.8%, and 97.8% for fluconazole, voriconazole, micafungin, caspofungin, and amphotericin B, respectively. YS08 showed comparable results to the BMD. However, considering the lower YS08 fluconazole MIC results compared with BMD in Candida species and YS08 caspofungin results in C. glabrata and C. krusei, improvements are needed. IMPORTANCE The new Vitek 2 AST–YS08 (YS08) card has been updated to reflect the recently revised Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline. In this study, antifungal drug susceptibility tests were performed using the YS08 card and compared with the CLSI broth microdilution (BMD) method. In conclusion, YS08 showed similar results to BMD, including with C. auris. However, about 12.5% and 4.2% of major errors were detected for fluconazole and voriconazole, respectively, in C. albicans. More than 80% of C. glabrata and C. krusei isolates identified as susceptible to micafungin were labeled moderate or resistant to caspofungin in YS08. The categorical agreement between BMD fluconazole MICs and YS08 voriconazole MICs was 90% by the method-specific CBP of voriconazole, 80% by the current epidemiological cutoff value (ECV) (0.25 μg/mL) of voriconazole, and 85% by the previous ECV (0.5 μg/mL) of voriconazole. Further improvements in YS08 for the detection of fluconazole and echinocandin resistance are thus needed.
