چکیده

Susceptibility to amphotericin B, miconazole, and ketoconazole was determined for 25 clinical isolates of zygomycetes in yeast nitrogen base broth and human serum. In yeast nitrogen base broth, 7 of 25 isolates were susceptible to an imidazole or amphotericin B. In serum, all were resistant to the imidazoles and inhibited by amphotericin B, the current drug of choice for infections caused by zygomycetes.

In vitro susceptibilities of sucrose-negative Candida tropicalis, Candida lusitaniae, and Candida norvegensis to amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine, miconazole, and ketoconazole.

The MICs and minimal lethal concentrations of four antimycotics, amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine, miconazole nitrate, and ketoconazole, were determined for 25 yeast isolates representing species uncommonly implicated in candidiasis. A microdilution procedure was employed with complex and synthetic media. The isolates, in general, were susceptible to the same antimicrobial agents shown to be ef...

In vitro antifungal susceptibilities of Scopulariopsis isolates.

MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations of amphotericin B, miconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, and flucytosine against 17 isolates of Scopulariopsis spp. were determined by a broth microdilution method. All the isolates were resistant to itraconazole, fluconazole, and flucytosine, and amphotericin B, miconazole, and ketoconazole MICs were low for only a few.

Comparative in-vitro activity of voriconazole (UK-109,496) and six other antifungal agents against clinical isolates of Scedosporium prolificans and Scedosporium apiospermum.

We report the in-vitro susceptibility of 27 clinical isolates of Scedosporium apiospermum and 43 of Scedosporium prolificans. S. apiospermum was resistant to fluconazole and flucytosine, with variable susceptibility to amphotericin B, itraconazole, ketoconazole and susceptible to miconazole. Voriconazole was much more active than fluconazole and flucytosine, more active than amphotericin B, itr...

In Vitro Antifungal Activities against Moulds Isolated from Dermatological Specimens.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of various antifungal agents against moulds isolated from dermatological specimens. METHODS We identified 29 moulds from dermatological specimens between October 2012 and March 2013 by conventional methods. We performed antifungal susceptibility testing on six antifungal agents, amphotericin B, clotrimazole,...

Comparative evaluation of FUNGITEST and broth microdilution methods for antifungal drug susceptibility testing of Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans.

The FUNGITEST method (Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur, Paris, France) is a microplate-based procedure for the breakpoint testing of six antifungal agents (amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole). We compared the FUNGITEST method with a broth microdilution test, performed according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards document M27-A gui...
