Potentiation of rifampicin and 5-fluorocytosine as antifungal antibiotics by amphotericin B (yeast-membrane permeability-ribosomal RNA-eukaryotic cell-synergism)

Abstract

Amphotericin B potentiates the antifungal effects of 5-fluorocytosine and rifampicin, probably by increasing the penetration of these agents through the fungal cytoplasmic membrane.
