The combined activity in vitro of amphotericin B/terbinafine and itraconazole/terbinafine was assessed against 17 clinical isolates of Zygomycota using a checkerboard technique. Itraconazole/terbinafine combination exhibited a potent synergistic effect against the most of strains. Amphotericin B/terbinafine combination showed an indifferent interaction for Rhizopus oryzae, and an additive effect for the other species.
