title: Efficacy of albaconazole against Candida albicans in a vaginitis model.
abstract: The efficacy of albaconazole (ABC) was evaluated using a murine model of vaginal Candida albicans infection. Both ABC and fluconazole (FLC) were effective in reducing the fungal load from vaginas of infected mice; however, ABC demonstrated encouraging activities against an FLC-resistant strain, with trends toward superiority over FLC in some treatment groups.
