Abstract:To evaluate the antifungal activities of amphotericin B (AMB) combination with azithromycin (AZI) and other antifungal agents against 30 strains of Aspergillums fumigatus in vitro, so as to guide rational use of antifungals against invasive aspergillosis. MethodsThe M38A method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute was used to detect antifungal activity of the combination application of antifungal drugs. ResultsThe minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of voriconazole(VRC), caspofungin(CBF), itraconazole(ICZ) and AMB against Asperillus fumigatus was 0.29 μg/mL, 0.45 μg/mL, 0.52 μg/mL and 0.55 μg/mL, respectively. Asperillus fumigatus were all resistant to terbinafine, fluorocytosin 5 (5FC), fluconazole(FCZ) and AZI. The total percentages of synergistic activity for AMB+ICZ, AMB+VRC, AMB+CBF, and AMB+5FC was 96.67%, 90.00%, 83.33% and 50.00% respectively. ConclusionAspergillus fumigatus were highly sensitive to AMB, ICZ, VRC and CBF, but resistant to AZI and FCZ; The combination of AMB+ICZ, AMB+VRC, AMB+CBF and AMB+5FC displayed a synergistic activity. The combination of AMB and other antifungals can be chosen for invasive aspergillosis.
