Abstract
In vitro susceptibilities of a worldwide collection of molecularly identified Phaeoacremonium strains (n=43) belonging to seven species and originating from human and environmental sources were determined for eight antifungal drugs. Voriconazole had the lowest geometric mean MIC (0.35 μg/ml) followed by posaconazole (0.37 μg/ml), amphotericin B (0.4 μg/ml) and isavuconazole (1.16 μg/ml). Caspofungin, anidulafungin, fluconazole and itraconazole had no activity.
