title: [Synergic effect of 5-fluorocytosine and imidazole derivatives against yeast strains resistant to 5-fluorocytosine].
abstract: Antifungal agents associations are widely used in therapy of deep mycotic diseases, particularly amphotericin B-5-fluorocytosine association. Synergistic effect has also been described between 5-fluorocytosine and imidazole derivates. The authors have tested here eventual synergy between 5-fluorocytosine and imidazole derivatives (miconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole) against 57 years isolates resistant to 5-fluorocytosine by a semi-automated methods in liquid medium (Yeast Nitrogen Base and Brain Heart Infusion). The synergistic effect between 5-fluorocytosine and antifungal imidazoles varies widely with the drug tested. It's more frequent with ketoconazole. Itraconazole and fluconazole present very little synergistic effects in vitro.
