Abstract: | The in vitro antifungal activities of clotrimazole, miconazole nitrate, econazole nitrate, and exalamide against 64 clinical isolates of various dermatophyte species obtained from out-patients seen at the Nippon Medical School Hospital were simultaneously compared using a liquid microculture method. The rank order of activity against the 64 isolates of dermatophytes was clotrimazole > econazole nitrate > miconazole nitrate > exalamide. For a given antimycotic, the minimal inhibitory concentration was affected by the dermatophyte species. |
