Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values (µg/mL) for fluconazole and nystatin against 29 vaginal isolates of Candida albicans and the reference strain.
| C. albicans | MIC (µg/mL)a,b | MIC50 | MIC90 | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n | 0,125 | 0,25 | 0,5 | 1,0 | 2,0 | 4,0 | 8,0 | 16,0 | 32,0 | 64,0 | |||
| Fluconazole | 30 | 18 | 7 | 1 | 3 | — | — | 1 | — | — | — | 0,125 | 1,0 |
| Nystatin | 30 | 18 | 1 | — | — | 2 | 2 | 7 | — | — | — | 0,125 | 8,0 |
aMIC of the fluconazole: the lowest concentration of the drug that could inhibit 50% of the growth of each yeast.
bMIC of the nystatin: the lowest concentration of the drug that could inhibit 90% of the growth of each yeast.
MIC50 and MIC90: MIC of fluconazole/nystatin that could inhibit 50% and 90% of the growth of the isolates, respectively.
