초록

Miconazole was estimated to have a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.78 ㎍/㎖ against the methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The antibacterial activity of miconazole against MRSA was bacteriostatic in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth, but bacteriocidal in saline solution. The anti-MRSA activity of miconazole did not show a significant change under the susceptibility-testing conditions such as various inoculum sizes, pHs, or cations (Ca/sup ++/ or Mg/sup ++/) which was added to the medium. However, the anti-MRSA activity of miconazole was completely suppressed by lipophilic a-tocopherol (50 ㎍/㎖), but definitely not by water-soluble ascorbic acid.
