Abstract
The MICs of amphotericin B and itraconazole for 230 isolates of Aspergillus spp., comprising 156 Aspergillus fumigatus, 20 Aspergillus terreus, 22 Aspergillus flavus, 17 Aspergillus nidulans and 15 Aspergillus niger, were determined by a broth microdilution method with RPMI 1640 medium. No isolate was detected with an MIC of amphotericin B >2 mg/L. Itraconazole MICs >16 mg/L were detected for four Aspergillus fumigatus and one Aspergillus nidulans isolates.Keywords
