Potent Activity of Luliconazole, Lanoconazole and Eight Comparators against Molecularly Characterized Fusarium species [PublishAheadOfPrint]

A collection of clinical (n=47) and environmental (n=79) Fusarium isolates were tested against 10 antifungal drugs, including two novel imidazoles. Luliconazole and lanoconazole demonstrated very low GM MIC values of 0.005 μg/ml and 0.013 μg/ml, respectively, in comparison with 0.51 μg/ml for micafungin, 0.85 μg/ml for efinaconazole, 1.12 μg/ml for natamycin, 1.18 μg/ml for anidulafungin, 1.31 μg/ml for voriconazole, 1.35 μg/ml for caspofungin, 1.9 μg/ml for amphotericin B and 4.08 μg/ml for itraconazole. Results show that these drugs are potential candidates for (topical) treatment of skin and nail infections due to Fusarium species.
