    Notes: Abstract The activity of antimicrobial agents against soil isolates of N. brasiliensis was studied by determination of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and disk diffusion technique, according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). The objectives were: (a) to study the patterns of sensitivity among regional strains of N. brasiliensis isolated from natural sources (soil) of different zones of Tucumán province; (b) to correlate these results with those previously obtained with regional strains of N. brasiliensis isolated from human mycetomas, as a contribution in the evaluation of the importance of the natural reservoir area of the potentially pathogen strains. The results obtained by both methods identified strains of N. brasiliensis from soils with similar patterns of susceptibility to the strains N. brasiliensis isolated from human mycetomas. This showed strains sensitive and resistant to antibiotics. The majority of the isolates of N. brasiliensis from soils showed higher susceptibilities to antibiotics than the strains isolated from human mycetomas. Among the antibiotics studied, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone and gentamicin were the most effective against all the regional strains tested, and these results are correlated with those obtained with regional strains that cause human mycetomas.

    Histoplasmosis in northwestern Argentina II: Prevalence ofHistoplasmosis capsulati and Paracoccidioidomycosis in the population south of Chuscha, Gonzalo and Potrero in the province of Tucuman (1995)

    Notes: Abstract The present work was undertaken to obtain epidemiological data on the extent and distribution ofHistoplasma capsulatum var.capsulatum andParacoccidiodes brasiliensis infections south of the Chuscha, Gonzalo and Potrero areas of Argentina. Skin tests surveys of the human population with histoplasmin and paracoccidioidin were carried out in the permanent population of those localities. The infection index of the population showed that the area south of Chuscha has a high-prevalence of histoplasmosis capsulati. The Gonzalo and Potrero areas, according to their rates of infection also can be considered to have a relatively high prevalence of this disease. The frequency of individuals infected withP. brasiliensis suggests that the level of exposure to this fungus is considerable, especially in Gonzalo where the frequency of infection was 9.23%. The endemic areas of both diseases can be superimposed, as occurs in the northeastern part of Argentina.
