Abstract
The in vitro activity of amphotericin B, fluconazole, flucytosine, itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole was evaluated against 44 clinical isolates of filamentous basidiomycetous fungi. No statistically significant differences were noted betweenSchizophyllum commune (n = 5),Coprinus species (n = 8),Bjerkandera adusta (n = 14), and sterile, uncharacterized basidiomycetes (n = 17).Keywords
