Table 3.

Maximum changes in log CFU/mL compared to the starting inoculum in time–kill studies at different micafungin (mg/L), and micafungin (mg/L) plus 8 mg/L nikkomycin Z concentrations (mg/L) for the four Candida auris clades. Data in bold and underlined indicate a synergistic (more than 2 log CFU decreases in CFU) and fungicidal effect (at least 3 log decreases in CFU), respectively.
