Eumycetoma caused by Madurella mycetomatis is treated surgically and with high doses of ketoconazole. Therapeutic responses are poor, and recurrent infections are common. In search of therapeutic alternatives in the treatment of mycetoma, we determined the in vitro susceptibilities of M. mycetomatis isolates against caspofungin, anidulafungin, and micafungin. As a comparator fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus was used. Minimal effective concentrations (MECs) and MICs were assessed and compared to those of ketoconazole. M. mycetomatis isolates were not susceptible to the echinocandins.
由节荚孢霉引起的外斐氏菌病采用手术和大剂量酮康唑治疗。治疗反应不佳,且常复发感染。为了寻找治疗外斐氏菌病的替代方法,我们测定了节荚孢霉分离株对卡泊芬净、阿尼芬净和米卡芬净的体外敏感性。曲霉菌被用作对照真菌。评估并比较了最小有效浓度(MEC)和 MIC 与酮康唑的 MIC。节荚孢霉分离株对棘白菌素类药物不敏感。
