Remel Yeastone Broth recalled for incorrect antifungal susceptibility test results
Remel's Yeastone Broth (11ML, 10/BOX, model YY3462) may give wrong results when labs use it to test how fungi respond to antifungal medicines. If a lab doesn't catch the bad result during its own quality checks, doctors might delay treatment or switch to a different antifungal drug unnecessarily.
