Abstract:
The susceptibility to Crotalus venom of 14 yeast and 10 mould fungal isolates was assessed. This venom was tested in a standardized well diffusion test, using 400 microg/20 microl well. The percentage of susceptibility to yeast isolates was 78.6% (> 8 mm); that for filamentous isolates was 50% (> 8 mm).
