Abstract
The effect of several fungicides on laboratory surfaces contaminated with the culture (spore) phase of aerosolized Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, and Histoplasma capsulatum was ascertained. The culture (spore) phase was more resistant to the action of the fungicides than was the tissue (yeast) phase. The addition of a wetting agent increased the efficiency of several fungicides. The time required for disinfection with a given concentration of fungicide, or the concentration required to disinfect within a given time, can be determined by interpolating the plotted graphs.Entities:
