Abstract

Thirty isolates of the yeast form of Sporothrix schenckii were evaluated for in vitro susceptibility to itraconazole and terbinafine by the recommended NCCLS modified technique (M27-A2). The MICs of itraconazole obtained oscillated between 0.062 and 4.0 microg/ml, and those of terbinafine oscillated between 0.007 and 0.50 microg/ml; therefore, terbinafine showed greater in vitro activity.
