In vitro antifungal susceptibilities of Trichosporon species

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2002 Apr;46(4):1144-6. doi: 10.1128/AAC.46.4.1144-1146.2002.

Abstract

The in vitro activities of amphotericin B, itraconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and ravuconazole against 39 isolates of Trichosporon spp. were determined by the NCCLS M27-A microdilution method. The azoles tested appeared to be more potent than amphotericin B. Low minimal fungicidal concentration/MIC ratios were observed for voriconazole, posaconazole, and ravuconazole, suggesting fungicidal activity.
