e119 was 1-4 g/ml for pentamycin, 1-2 g/ml for nystatin, 0.5-1 g/ml for amphotericin B and 1-32 g/ml for fluconazole. Some strains of C. glabrata and S. cerevisiae, and most strains of C. krusei were categorized as susceptible-dose dependent or resistant to fluconazole, according to the CLSI document (MIC > 8 g/ml). At concentrations)4 g/ml, pentamycin inhibited completely the growth of 100% of strains of all species tested, including those strains less susceptible to fluconazole (MIC range: 16-32 g/ml). Conclusion: Pentamycin exhibited potent in-vitro fungicidal activity against the yeasts that are frequently isolated in recurrent forms of vaginal mycoses and mixed infections, like C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
