Effects of pH on the activity of ketoconazole against Candida albicans
Abstract
The activity of ketoconazole against Candida albicans in Sabouraud glucose medium was markedly influenced by pH. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of this imidazole against both a standard strain and clinical isolates ranged from 40 mug/ml at pH 3 to 0.02 mug/ml at pH 7, a greater than 1,000-fold difference.
