Comparison of MICs of fluconazole and flucytosine when dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide or water.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 145 clinical strains of Candida species were tested by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M27-A3 methodology to determine if replacing water with dimethyl sulfoxide as the solvent for fluconazole and flucytosine impacted the in vitro potency. No significant differences in MIC values were observed with either antifungal between the two solvents against any Candida species, and the essential agreement for each agent between the two solvents was greater than 99%.

Combination therapy with fluconazole and flucytosine in the murine model of cryptococcal meningitis.
This study elucidates the role of combined fluconazole and flucytosine as therapy for cryptococcosis in the murine model of meningitis. Three strains of Cryptococcus neoformans for which the range of fluconazole MICs was wide--2 microg/ml (susceptible strain), 8 microg/ml (moderately susceptible strain), and 32 microg/ml (resistant strain)--were used for infection. One day postinfection, the mi...
متن کاملEvaluation of a capacitance method for direct antifungal susceptibility testing of yeasts in positive blood cultures.
The feasibility of using a capacitance method (CM) for direct antifungal susceptibility testing of yeasts in positive blood cultures was evaluated. The CM used the same test conditions as those recommended by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. After direct inoculation of positive culture broths into module wells (Bactometer; bioMérieux, Inc., Hazelwood, Mo.), the end-poin...

Ninety-six strains of Candida, including 29 resistant and 67 susceptible isolates with mutations in the FKS1 and FKS2 genes were tested by the European Committee on Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing EDef 7.1 and 7.2 methodologies to determine the impact on the MIC when water was replaced with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the solvent for caspofungin and micafungin. The MICs were significantly lo...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal susceptibilities of Scopulariopsis isolates.
MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations of amphotericin B, miconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, and flucytosine against 17 isolates of Scopulariopsis spp. were determined by a broth microdilution method. All the isolates were resistant to itraconazole, fluconazole, and flucytosine, and amphotericin B, miconazole, and ketoconazole MICs were low for only a few.

A comparative evaluation of the NCCLS macrodilution method, the E-test, and the Sensititre YeastOne Colorimetric Antifungal Panel for the susceptibility testing of fluconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B, and flucytosine was conducted with 233 blood isolates of Candida species collected between 1994 and 1998 in Sweden. Antifungal susceptibility profiles of Candida albicans and non-C. albicans...
