title: In vitro activities of amphotericin B and voriconazole against aleurioconidia from Aspergillus terreus.
abstract: This study used aleurioconidia as inoculum and compared the MICs of amphotericin B and voriconazole to those obtained for conidia of 31 Aspergillus terreus strains. For conidia and aleurioconidia, the MIC at which 90% of strains were inhibited was 2.5 microg/ml and 5 microg/ml with amphotericin B and 1 microg/ml and 2 microg/ml with voriconazole.
