The recognition that some of the broad spectrum antibiotics enhance the virulence ofC. albicansand result in its systemic dissemination has made the search for effective anti-monilial agents one of great importance.2, 3Such an agent might effectively prevent the aggravated and even fatal fungus infections which have been reported as having complicated...Bibliography1.
