Growth of Cryptococcus neoformans in presence of L-dopa decreases its susceptibility to amphotericin B

Y Wang et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1994 Nov.

Abstract

Cryptococcus neoformans grown with L-dopa was melanized and was less susceptible to amphotericin B. The results suggest that in vivo and in vitro susceptibilities to amphotericin B may differ.
