The MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations of amphotericin B, natamycin, miconazole, itraconazole, and flucytosine against 17 isolates of Fusarium solani, 14 isolates of Fusarium moniliforme, 10 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum, and 3 isolates of Fusarium semitectum were determined by a broth microdilution method. Amphotericin B and natamycin were the most active agents tested and failed to show any inoculum size effect. In contrast, miconazole and itraconazole showed poor inhibitory and fungicidal activities, and the inoculum size had a major effect on the results. Flucytosine had no activity against any of the isolates tested.
