The control drug for each ATCC strain wasamphotericin B, diluted in DMSO; the concentrations testedranged from 0.03 to 16 µg/mL. The minimum inhibitoryconcentration (MIC) for amphotericin B, determined by brothmacrodilution, was defined as the lowest concentration of thedrug completely inhibited the growth of the isolate. The MICwas defined as the lowest concentration at which the opticaldensity (OD) was reduced to 90% of the OD in the growthcontrol well as measured by spectrophotometer. For the plantextracts and fractions, the MIC was defined as the lowestconcentration able to inhibit any visible fungal growth. Resultswere analyzed visually and spectrophotometrically.
