The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) was determined for 65 isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans by using a twofold serial tube dilution method. The MIC was profoundly influenced by incubation temperature, inoculum size, and duration of incubation. By using a standard set of test conditions, 100% of 49 pretreatment isolates of C. neoformans were susceptible to 10 mug of 5-FC per ml or less, and 9 (56%) of 16 isolates recovered during or after 5-FC therapy were massively drug resistant (MIC > 320 mug/ml). With the standard test conditions recommended here, the tube dilution method was found to be both accurate and reproducible, and the results correlated with the treatment status of patients.
采用二倍系列试管稀释法测定了65株新型隐球菌对5-氟胞嘧啶(5-FC)的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)。MIC受培养温度、接种量和培养时间的影响很大。采用一组标准测试条件时,49株新型隐球菌治疗前分离株中有100%对每毫升10微克或更低浓度的5-FC敏感,在5-FC治疗期间或之后分离出的16株菌株中有9株(56%)对药物高度耐药(MIC>320微克/毫升)。采用此处推荐的标准测试条件时,发现试管稀释法准确且可重复,结果与患者的治疗状况相关。
