In vitro interaction between fluconazole and triclosan against clinical isolates of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans determined by different methods.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro interaction between triclosan and fluconazole against 24 azole-resistant clinical isolates of Candida albicans was evaluated by the microdilution checkerboard technique. The synergisms were verified by time-killing curves and agar diffusion tests in selected strains. Antagonistic activity was not detected.
