This study presents in vitro susceptibility data for clinical (n = 48) and environmental (n = 31) isolates of Aspergillus terreus against nine antifungal agents. The methodology of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing was applied. Posaconazole and anidulafungin had the lowest and amphotericin B the highest MICs. No differences in susceptibility patterns were observed between environmental and clinical isolates.
