摘要
We evaluated the efficacy of posaconazole against Candida tropicalis in a systemic infection model with immunosuppressed mice. Posaconazole at 50 mg/kg of body weight/day prolonged the survival of mice and reduced the fungal tissue burden of mice infected with any of the five strains tested, with the exception of one strain that had a high MIC against this drug. Our results demonstrate the efficacy of posaconazole in the treatment of invasive murine infection caused by C. tropicalis.
