Propolis Is an Efficient Fungicide and Inhibitor of Biofilm Production by Vaginal Candida albicans

Table 2

Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values (µg/mL) for fluconazole and nystatin against 29 vaginal isolates of Candida albicans and the reference strain.

C. albicans	MIC (µg/mL)^a,b											MIC50	MIC90
		0,125	0,25	0,5	1,0	2,0	4,0	8,0	16,0	32,0	64,0
Fluconazole	30	18	7	1	3	—	—	1	—	—	—	0,125	1,0
Nystatin	30	18	1	—	—	2	2	7	—	—	—	0,125	8,0

 ^aMIC of the fluconazole: the lowest concentration of the drug that could inhibit 50% of the growth of each yeast.
^bMIC of the nystatin: the lowest concentration of the drug that could inhibit 90% of the growth of each yeast.
MIC₅₀ and MIC₉₀: MIC of fluconazole/nystatin that could inhibit 50% and 90% of the growth of the isolates, respectively.
