Abstract

A preliminary antimycotic test was performed using the Schamberg-Kolmer method as modified by McCrea. The results from this test suggested possible errors which might be corrected. The sources of these errors were analyzed and appropriate corrections were made. Eight organo-copper complexes with salicylic acid as the control were tested. With the exception of salicylic acid, their activity was found to be quite feeble. Variations in the pH of the dilutions of the compounds had no visible effect on their antimycotic activity. The actual testing technique, evolved from testing of the organo-copper complexes with salicylic acid as control, is described and it is suggested that the method would be satisfactory for testing other compounds for antimycotic activity.
