title: [In vitro comparison of antifungal activity of oxiconazole and econazole against yeast.].
abstract: Oxiconazole was compared in vitro with econazole in tests with 400 yeasts strains. Tests were performed by measurement of growth inhibition by both microdilution in Sabouraud broth and a Shadomy' agar diffusion systems. The sensitivity/resistance percentages were similar in Candida albicans strains. Oxiconazole showed a higher activity than that of econazole in Candida spp. and yeasts other than Candida.
