RESUMO
Thirty-five strains of Torulopsis glabrata were tested by a tube dilution method for their susceptibility to amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine, and clotrimazole (Bay 5097). Amphotericin B was the most active in vitro, inhibiting all strains at a concentration of 1 μg/ml and killing all strains at 2 μg/ml. 5-Fluorocytosine inhibited over 80% of strains at 0.24 μg/ml, but three strains required ≥7.8 μg/ml for killing. A concentration of 2 μg of clotrimazole per ml inhibited less than 50% of strains, and 8 μg/ml killed only 10% of strains. Most strains of T. glabrata were killed by therapeutically achievable concentrations of amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine, but not clotrimazole.
