ABSTRACT We developed a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay to validate time-kill and postantifungal-effect (PAFE) experiments for voriconazole against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Candida parapsilosis isolates. Voriconazole exerted prolonged fungistatic activity but no PAFE at concentrations achievable in human sera. HPLC confirmed that experiments were conducted at the desired steady-state voriconazole concentrations.

ABSTRACT We measured time-kills and postantifungal effects (PAFEs) of caspofungin against Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, and C. glabrata isolates. One-hour exposure to caspofungin during PAFE experiments accounted for the majority of killing during time-kill experiments. Regrowth of all isolates was inhibited for at least 24 h following drug washout.
