Abstract
We describe a method using an automated system whereby fungistatic activities can be determined in several conditions. The process was adapted to Torulopsis glabrata, and it showed that benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine gluconate, and thimerosal preserve fungistatic activities in acidic medium, whereas acidification reduces the activity of povidone iodine and poloxamer.
