In vitro antifungal susceptibilities of uncommon basidiomycetous yeasts

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2004 Jul;48(7):2724-6. doi: 10.1128/AAC.48.7.2724-2726.2004.

Abstract

The in vitro activities of eight antifungal drugs against 50 isolates of basidiomycetous yeasts were determined by a microdilution method. In general fluconazole and micafungin were inactive. Terbinafine was active only against Sporobolomyces salmonicolor. The activities of the other antifungals were variable and depended on the species tested. The new triazoles showed the lowest MICs, but amphotericin B and itraconazole were the only drugs active against Cryptococcus albidus.
