The effect of miconazole on the growth of Candida albicans and Candida krusei. DMSO was used at a final concentration of 3%. Growth of C. albicans and C. krusei after treatment with miconazole was compared to the growth of the untreated cells. Growth of C. albicans decreased as the concentration of miconazole increased. At the highest concentration of miconazole used, 100 μg/mL, the growth of C. albicans was reduced by 101%. At the highest tested concentration, 100 μg/mL, miconazole was able to reduce the growth of C. krusei by 104.7%. Growth inhibition was significant at all tested concentrations. . .
