In this study the activity of Isavuconazole, Voriconazole, Amphotericin B, and Caspofungin against 224 clinical isolates of
Aspergillus
spp. originating from seven Italian hospitals, was comparatively evaluated with two commercial antifungal susceptibility tests (AST): Sensititre
TM
YeastOne
TM
(SYO) and MIC Test Strip. More attention was focused on Isavuconazole activity, given the new introduction of the drug in widely distributed antifungal susceptibilities methods in the clinical microbiology lab. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of antifungal drug that can inhibit the growth of pathogen by 90% (MIC90) for Isavuconazole detected by SYO were 0.5, 1, 0.25, and 2 µg/mL for
Aspergillus fumigatus
,
Aspergillus flavus
,
Aspergillus terreus
, and
Aspergillus niger
, respectively, whilst they were 0.25, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 µg/mL by MIC Test Strip. Essential agreement between the two tested methods for Isavuconazole is 70% for all the species tested, 75.7% for
A. fumigatus
, 45.2% for
A. flavus
, 90.6% for
A
.
terreus
, and 40% for
A. niger
. Although the tested strains do not express any phenotypic resistance, MIC results were quite different if tested with microdilution broth or gradient agar method. This is the first Italian multicenter report on Isavuconazole MIC obtained employing the widely used Sensititre
TM
Yeast One
TM
(SYO) and MIC Test Strip on clinical isolates of
Aspergillus
