There are several studies that demonstrate that bactroban (mupirocin)
inhibits the growth of pathogenic fungi in vitro. The one cited below
tested this hypothesis on guinea pigs with ringworm, demonstrating it works
in vivo.
R Nicholas, V Berry, P Hunter, J Kelly, The antifungal activity of
mupirocin, J Antimicorbial Chemotherapy 1999; 43:579-582.
The authors conclude: "These results suggest that mupirocin could have
clinical utility for superficial infections caused by dermatophytes."
