title: [In vitro antifungal activity of mercurobutol].
abstract: Mercurobutol, in its commercial form, exhibits fungistatic and fungicidal activities against both yeasts: Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, Torulopsis glabrata, Pityrosporum spp., and filamentous fungi: dermatophytes, Aspergillus fumigatus, mainly saprophytic or potentially pathogenic fungi of the cutaneo-mucous flora. Minimal inhibitory concentrations on this antiseptic indicate a high susceptibility of the species tested, that could justify the enlargement of the indication of the drug to the complementary treatment of most cutaneous mycosis.
