Invitro | Fluconazole inhibits 4 species ofAspergillus fumigatus with the IC50s of 23.9-43.5 μg/mL. Fluconazole (0.20 μg/mL) inhibits significantly the mycelial-phase growth and germ tube elongation of C. albicans in a medium supplemented with serum[1]. Fluconazole is a triazole antifungal agent that has been available for the treatment of infections due to Candida, Cryptococcus. The MIC90 is highest for C. krusei (MIC ≥ 64 μg/mL) and C. glabrata (MIC, 32 μg/mL) and is ≤2 μg/mL for C. albicans (0.5 μg/mL), C. parapsilosis (2 μg/mL), C. tropicalis (2 μg/mL), C. lusitaniae (2 μg/mL), and C. kefyr (0.5 μg/mL)[2].Fluconazole (0.1-50.0 μg/mL) damages the fungal cells and reduces their viability[3].
