Abstract
- The antifungal susceptibility profiles of 77 clinical strains of Mucorales species, identified by internal transcribed spacer sequencing, were analyzed. MICs obtained at 24 and 48 h were compared. Amphotericin B was the most active agent against all isolates, except for Cunninghamella and Apophysomyces isolates. Posaconazole also showed good activity for all species but Cunninghamella bertholletiae . Voriconazole had no activity against any of the fungi tested. Terbinafine showed good activity, except for Rhizopus oryzae , Mucor circinelloides , and Rhizomucor variabilis isolates.
