In vitro susceptibilities to amphotericin B itraconazole and miconazole of filamentous fungi isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.

摘要

The antimicrobial activities of amphotericin B, itraconazole, and miconazole against 101 filamentous fungi from patients with cystic fibrosis were tested by a reproducible microdilution method. Itraconazole was very active against Aspergillus species and Scedosporium species (MIC at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited [MIC90], 0.06 to 0.5 mg/liter), whereas amphotericin B was less effective (MIC90, 0.5 to 8 mg/liter).
