RESUMO
Cilofungin was combined with amphotericin B or flucytosine to determine if synergistic inhibition or killing occurred against 50 strains of various Candida species. Synergistic inhibition of growth occurred only once with amphotericin B and cilofungin and only 2 times with flucytosine and cilofungin. Synergistic killing occurred in 5 strains with the amphotericin B-cilofungin combination and in 7 strains with the flucytosine-cilofungin combination. Antagonism occurred frequently with both the amphotericin B-cilofungin and the flucytosine-cilofungin combinations.
