Abstract
The efficacy of cilofungin (LY121019) for aortic valve endocarditis caused by Candida albicans in rabbits was studied. Vegetation titers were similar for cilofungin-treated and untreated rabbits. No rabbit survived beyond 5 days in either group. All rabbits given amphotericin B survived, and titers were reduced. Cilofungin was ineffective in this model.
