N2 - A three-laboratory study was performed to evaluate conidium counting in a hematocytometer as a technique of inoculum preparation for susceptibility testing of Aspergillus spp. In addition, inocula were quantified by colony counting and optical density determination. The agreement and correlation coefficient between conidium and colony quantifications were 89.2% and 0.73 (P < 0.01). Correlations with optical density determination were not significant.
