title: Evaluation of disk diffusion method for determining eberconazole susceptibility of dermatophytes and influence of culture medium.
abstract: We have evaluated a disk diffusion method to determine the activity of eberconazole against 50 strains of dermatophytes by testing three culture media (RPMI, antibiotic medium 3, and high resolution). No differences were found among the results obtained with the three media. A significant correlation between disk diffusion and microdilution methods was observed with AM3.
