title = "In vitro activity of posaconazole against Talaromyces marneffei by broth microdilution and Etest methods and comparison to itraconazole, voriconazole, and anidulafungin",
abstract = "We determined the susceptibilities of 57 Talaromyces marneffei strains to anidulafungin, itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole with MICs of 2 to 8, 0.002 to 0.004, 0.016 to 0.063, and 0.001 to 0.002 μg/ml by broth microdilution and >32, ≤0.002 to 0.008, ≤0.002 to 0.008, and ≤0.002 μg/ml by Etest, respectively, at yeast phase; MICs at mycelial phase for anidulafungin and posaconazole were 1 to 2 and 0.004 to 0.063 μg/ml, respectively. The results suggest promising activities of posaconazole. Etest can be used for testing of azoles against T. marneffei.",
