Antifungal susceptibilities of the species of the Pseudallescheria boydii complex

Fèlix Gilgado et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

Eighty-four isolates belonging to eight species that constitute the Pseudallescheria boydii complex were tested against 11 antifungal agents by using the microdilution method. There were significant differences among the species, with Scedosporium aurantiacum being the most resistant. In general, voriconazole was the most active drug, followed by posaconazole.
