ABSTRACT
A total of 122 Candida spp. strains, isolated from a group of 100 patients hospitalized in the Santa Casa de Misericordia of Belo Horizonte were assayed for in vitro susceptibility to amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole and flucytosine using a microbroth technique proposed by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. In this study large variations were observed among minimum inhibitory concentration values depending on the species tested. The statistical analysis (Kruskal-Wallis test) showed that itraconazole and flucytosine were the more efficient antifungal drugs for most of species, and amphotericin B and fluconazole were the least efficient.
