Nystatin (Fungicidin) is a polyene antifungal antibiotic [1].
Antifungal antibiotic is a pharmaceutical fungicide used to treat and prevent mycoses.
Nystatin is a polyene antifungal antibiotic that is effective against yeast and mycoplasma [1]. In liquid media, Nystatin inhibited C. albicans at concentrations of 5-20 U/ml[2].
In a 200 clinical isolates, which comprised of 113 Candida albicans, 54 Candida glabrata, 11 Candida parapsilosis, 11 Candida tropicalis and 11 Candida krusei. Nystatin exhibited MIC90 value of 4 mg/L against C. albicans isolates and all non-albicans Candida species tested. The results confirmed C. Albicans was most frequently susceptible and Nystatin could be used to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis caused by non-albicans Candida species. Nystatin would be an important choice for women affected by non-albicans Candida species which present higher resistance to the imidazole-based treatments [3].
