According to the product insert for Cancidas, the drug must not be diluted in solutions containing glucose as this decreases caspofungin stability. The aim of this study is to compare caspofungin MICs for a collection of yeasts by means of EUCAST EDef7.1 but using two different concentrations of glucose, 2% versus 0.2%. MICs were identical or within one twofold dilution for 93 out of 95 strains (97.9%) of strains showing that glucose does not interfere.
