Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1995 Jun;39(6):1361-4. doi: 10.1128/AAC.39.6.1361.

Abstract

In order to develop new approaches to treatment of infections due to Pseudallescheria boydii, the in vitro antifungal activity of amphotericin B alone and in combination with miconazole, itraconazole, and fluconazole was studied. Combinations of amphotericin B and antifungal azoles were synergistic, additive, or indifferent in their interaction against P. boydii. Antagonism was not observed.
