    Amphotericin B, EP (syn: Fungizone) is a polyene macrolide aminoglycoside broad-spectrum antimycotic.  This bioactive natural product was isolated from soil collected from Orinoco River (Venezuela) in 1955 and identified as Streptomyces nodosus by Squibb Institute for Medical Research.  It is used to control contamination from fungi, viruses and protozoa and a common media selective agent to inhibit the growth of background fungi.  It also has immunomodulatory properties.
