Composite Microparticles Based on Natural Mucoadhesive Polymers with Promising Structural Properties to Protect and Improve the Antifungal Activity of Miconazole Nitrate
(Springer, 2018-11)
Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a recurrent oral infection caused by Candida species. Gel formulation containing miconazole nitrate is the most common approach for treating oral candidiasis. However, traditional oral topical ...
Influence of capsule size on the in vitro activity of antifungal agents against clinical Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii strains
(Society for General Microbiology, 2012-03)
Cryptococcosis causes disseminated disease in AIDS patients. In contrast to what occurs in laboratory conditions, a large capsule is produced by Cryptococcus neoformans in vivo during infection. The aim of this study was ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Voriconazole-Containing Antifungal Combinations against Mucorales Using a Galleria mellonella Model of Mucormycosis
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-01)
Mucorales are resistant to most antifungals. Mucormycosis associated mortality is unacceptable and new treatment approaches are needed. The objectives of this work were (i) to evaluate the nature and intensity of the in ...
Cyclosporine A from a nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum suppressing Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006-03)
Aims: To evaluate the antagonistic activity of Fusarium oxysporum nonpathogenic fungal strain S6 against the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and to identify the antifungal compounds involved. Methods and ...
Antifungal activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2021)
Assessment of Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties and In Vivo Cytotoxicity of Peruvian Passiflora Mollisima
(The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice (JCDP)PE, 2019-02)
Aim: The antimicrobial activity of Passiflora mollissima is
largely due to its aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, terpenes,
alkaloids, ketones, esters, alcohols, and lactones. The objective
of this research was to ...
Antifungal activity of native yeasts from different microenvironments against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on ripe olive fruits
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-05)
Anthracnose is a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum species, which mainly affects olive fruits during ripening. The use of yeasts from related and unrelated microenvironments in the control of plant pathogens has ...
Fungal biofilms as a valuable target for the discovery of natural products that cope with the resistance of medically important fungi—Latest findings
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-09)
The development of new antifungal agents that target biofilms is an urgent need. Natural products, mainly from the plant kingdom, represent an invaluable source of these entities. The present review provides an update ...
Requirement for Ergosterol in V-ATPase Function Underlies Antifungal Activity of Azole Drugs
(Public Library of Science, 2010-06)
Ergosterol is an important constituent of fungal membranes. Azoles inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis, although the cellular basis for their antifungal activity is not understood. We used multiple approaches to demonstrate a ...
Antifungal activity of native yeasts from different microenvironments against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on ripe olive fruits
(2017-03)
Anthracnose is a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum species, which mainly affects olive fruits during ripening. The use of yeasts from related and unrelated microenvironments in the control of plant pathogens has ...
