Antifungal susceptibility tests on Candida albicans, Candida krusei and Candida Paropsilosis

Abstract

We tested 2 agents: Amphotericin B and LM1 on the 3 Candida species in vitro conditions, one of the agents was developed in the pharmaceutical chemistry department in University of Debrecen. From the agents AmB had different MIC's for all 3 Candida species while LM1 failed to inhibit the growth of the Candida species. Anti drug resistance of Invasive fungal infections is a globally growing problem, this study was conducted to investigate possible antifungal activity of LM1
