摘要
Ten isolates of Penicillium marneffei and eight of Pythium insidiosum were tested for their in vitro sensitivity to amphotericin B, hamycin (a polyene heptaene), two water-soluble analogs of amphotericin B and hamycin, namely, JAI-Amb, and JAI-hamycin, 5-fluorocytosine, fluoconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole and miconazole. Itraconazole manifested the strongest activity against all of the 10 isolates of P. marneffei and would be the drug of choice in the treatment of penicilliosis due to P. marneffei. The polyene antibiotics amphotericin B and hamycin and their water-soluble analogs showed no appreciable activity against P. insidiosum. Pytium insidiosum isolates were sensitive to fluconazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole. Miconazole exhibited the strongest in vitro activity against all of the 8 isolates of P. insidiosum, followed by ketoconazole.
