Nystatin acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible Candida species with a resultant change in membrane permeability allowing leakage of intracellular components. Generally, resistance does not develop in vivo. Candida albicans demonstrates no significant resistance to nystatin in vitro on repeated subculture in increasing levels of nystatin other Candida species become quite resistant. Nystatin is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi. In patients with renal insufficiency receiving oral therapy with conventional dosage forms, significant plasma concentrations of nystatin may occasionally occur.
