In vitro susceptibilities of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast form to antifungal drugs.
A total of 12 Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast form strains, including clinical and environmental isolates, were tested for their susceptibilities to amphotericin B, ketoconazole, fluconazole, and itraconazole. The tests were determined using a broth macrodilution procedure. In general, there was a remarkable homogeneity of results for all strains, and comparable MICs were found for environmental and clinical isolates.
