  • Title: [In vitro susceptibility of Cryptococcus strains to 5 antifungal drugs].
    Author: Bava AJ, Negroni R.
    Journal: Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo; 1989; 31(5):346-50. PubMed ID: 2560840.
    Abstract:
    A comparative study of the "in vitro" susceptibility of 24 Cryptococcus strains to 5 antifungal drugs (amphotericin B, 5 fluorocytosine, miconazole, itraconazole and ketoconazole), was carried out. These strains were grouped according to species, varieties and isolation's origins. The minimum inhibitory concentration (M.I.C.) was determined by the agar dilution technique in yeast nitrogen base agar with dextrose. The mean geometrical of the M.I.C. values of each group was compared with the others. The results obtained were homogeneous with the only exception of the "non neoformans" strains, in which, higher M.I.C. to 5 fluorocytosine values were detected.
