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.
