Figure Lengend Snippet: Impact of the duration of fluconazole preincubation on the activity of AMB for C. albicans B311. Yeast were incubated with 25 μg of FLC/ml for 0, 16, or 40 h and subsequently transferred to media containing 25 μg of FLC (F)/ml, drug-free media, or 1.5 μg of AMB (A)/ml. 0hr F-O, 0hr F-A, and 0hr F-F: yeast incubated in drug-free media (control), AMB, and FLC, respectively, without preincubation in drug-containing media. 16hr F-O, 16hr F-A, 16hr F-F: yeast incubated for 16 h in 25 μg of FLC/ml prior to incubation in drug-free media, AMB, or FLC. 40hr F-O, 40hr F-A, and 40hr F-F: yeast incubated in 25 μg of FLC/ml for 40 h before incubation in drug-free media, AMB, and FLC, respectively.
Article Snippet: For animals that received AMB and FLC in combination, AMB concentrations in serum were measured using a FLC-resistant C. albicans strain ( B59630 ; gift of F. Odds, Janssen Research Foundation, Beerse, Belgium) in the biological assay.
