Abstract
Summary: Cilofungin was combined with amphotericin B or flucytosine to determine if synergistic inhibition or killing occurred against 50 strains of various Candida species. Synergistic inhibition of growth occurred only once with amphotericin B and cilofungin and only 2 times with flucytosine and cilofungin. Synergistic killing occurred in 5 strains with the amphotericin B‐cilofungin combination and in 7 strains with the flucytosine‐cilo‐fungin combination. Antagonism occurred frequently with both the amphotericin B‐cilofungin and the flucytosine‐cilofungin combinations.Zusammenfassung: Cilofungin wurde mit Amphotericin B oder Flucytosin kombi‐niert, um eine etwaige synergistische Wachstumshemmung oder Inaktivierung von 50 Stämmen unterschiedlicher Candi‐da‐Arten zu untersuchen. Eine synergisti sche Wachstumshemmung wurde nur ein‐mal mit Amphotericin B und Cilofungin und zweimal rnit Flucytosin und Cilofungin beobachtet. Eine synergistische Abtötung trat an 5 Stämmen mit der Amphotericin B‐Cilofungin‐ und an 7 Stämmen mit der Flucytosin‐Cilofungin‐Kombination auf. Häufiger wurden bei beiden Kombinatio‐nen Antagonismen gefunden.Keywords
