''Experience to date from the PHE Mycology Reference Laboratory indicates that so far very few multi-drug resistant strains have been found in the UK but all isolates are resistant to fluconazole''
''Commonly C. auris is resistant to the first-line antifungal drug fluconazole and this species can rapidly evolve to develop resistance, so specific antifungal susceptibility testing is indicated.''

The Rosco Neo-Sensitabs fluconazole disc provides a simple screening test for fluconazole resistance.  Stable at room temperature, easy to apply and, at around 15p per disc, inexpensive.
