Abstract
This study used aleurioconidia as inoculum and compared the MICs of amphotericin B and voriconazole to those obtained for conidia of 31 Aspergillus terreus strains. For conidia and aleurioconidia, the MIC at which 90% of strains were inhibited was 2.5 μg/ml and 5 μg/ml with amphotericin B and 1 μg/ml and 2 μg/ml with voriconazole.Keywords
