Abstract
The efficacy against Trichophyton interdigitale and Achorion Schoenleinii of furacin, guanofuracin, panazone, Z-furan, furyl esters, nitrofuryl esters, anilides, amides of furancarboxylic acid, and furylacrylic acid were tested. The esters were found to be the most effective, 5-nitrofuryl furoate being the best as it was effective up to 64, 000 dilution. The results of subculture showed that there were tendency of resistant strains forming easily. Furacin and guanofuracin were found to be almost ineffective which showed that there was an inverse relationship between bacteriostatic and fungistatic actions.
