Abstract

A new method for the determination of minimal inhibitory and fungicidal concentrations of antifungal agents for filamentous fungi is described. 5-Fluorocytosine (5-FC) was used as a representative agent and was tested against the following genera: Allescheria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Fonsecaea, and Phialophora. 5-FC was found to be inhibitory but not fungicidal for many of the fungi tested, including eight of clinical origin.
