Abstract
Due to the different physical-chemical conditions of the therapeutical azoles it is necessary to choose an adequate testing procedure. In the group of azoles caused by its hydrophilia fluconazole susceptibility testing can be handled easily. However it is not possible to take the same test conditions for itraconazole as for fluconazole due to the extreme high hydrophobicity of itraconazole. The current recommendations of NCCLS should be considering these problems. Therefore it is necessary to standardize susceptibility testing for all azoles possible.
