In vitro antifungal susceptibilities of Sporothrix schenckii in two growth phases

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2005 Sep;49(9):3952-4. doi: 10.1128/AAC.49.9.3952-3954.2005.

Abstract

We have determined the antifungal susceptibilities of 34 clinical isolates of the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii to 11 drugs using a microdilution method. In general, the type of growth phase (mycelial or yeast) and the temperature of incubation (30 or 35 degrees C) exerted a significant influence on the MICs.
