摘要
A decrease of the susceptibility of Aspergillus fumigatus strains to amphotericin B was found when tested in combination with high concentrations (128-2048 mg/l) of the antibacterial agent imipenem by checkerboard titration and agar diffusion assay. Only bacteriologically active imipenem showed the antagonism. The mechanism of action is unknown. However, imipenem and amphotericin B did not react directly, as shown by checkerboard titration with bacterial strains as well as by HPLC analysis. It is concluded that imipenem medication may influence the efficacy of amphotericin B treatment in aspergillosis.
