摘要：
The use of acidified nitrite as a potential antifungal agent was investigated by exposing clinical isolates of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus fumigatus and Rhodotorula to varying concentrations of acidified nitrite at different pH levels to determine the minimal fungicidal concentration after 10 min exposure.
