Use this mycology utility to record or consistently classify a stated fungal morphology, culture, ecology, assay, cultivation, or microscopy observation for later expert review.

Clearance zone (mm)

Required number input.

Moderate minimum (mm)

Required number input.

Strong minimum (mm)

Required number input.

Rate a cellulose-clearance zone using thresholds supplied for the assay protocol; category cutoffs vary with media, organism, and incubation conditions. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Clearance rating

The resulting clearance rating returned as a string.

• Fungal identification and susceptibility interpretation depend on specimen quality, developmental stage, medium, temperature, microscopy, molecular evidence, validated breakpoints, and taxonomic context. Pattern-based output is not an edibility, toxicity, infection, or treatment determination.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Preserve images, specimen and culture metadata, method and reference standard, use multiple characters or molecular confirmation, and refer clinical or poisoning questions to qualified services.

• Amphotericin B Breakpoint Mapper

  Map an amphotericin B MIC to susceptible, intermediate, or resistant using explicitly supplied thresholds. No universal CLSI amphotericin B breakpoint is assumed; use criteria applicable to the organism, method, and current reporting standard.

• NaCl Limit Lookup

  Classify a maximum growth-supporting NaCl concentration using caller-supplied boundaries appropriate to the organism, medium, and incubation protocol.

• Disc SDD/R Mapper

  Map an antifungal disc-diffusion zone using organism-, agent-, and method-specific breakpoints supplied from the applicable current standard.
