title: Comparative in vitro antifungal susceptibility studies with 30 serotype A and B isolates of Candida albicans.
abstract: Fifteen isolates, each of serotypes A and B of Candida albicans, were tested in vitro against flucytosine, amphotericin B, and cilofungin. All 15 serotype A isolates were susceptible to all three drugs. Three serotype B isolates were resistant to flucytosine. Two isolates, one serotype A and one serotype B, had elevated amphotericin B and cilofungin MICs of 5 micrograms/ml.
