In vitro susceptibility of clinical isolates of Zygomycota to amphotericin B, flucytosine, itraconazole and voriconazole
Servicio de Micología, Centro Nacional de Microbiología, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Ctra Majadahonda-Pozuelo Km 2, 28220 Majadahonda, Madrid, Spain
The in vitro susceptibility of 29 clinical isolates of fungi belonging to the division Zygomycota was reviewed. A broth microdilution test was performed by following the NCCLS reference method, with minor modifications. The species of Zygomycota tested were resistant in vitro to flucytosine, itraconazole and voriconazole. Amphotericin B showed the best activity against most of the strains evaluated.
