Control of spoilage fungi by lactic acid bacteria
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2013-03)
The evaluation of the potentiality of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from different origins to inhibit mould growth and to identify and characterize the antifungal metabolites were the aims of this study. ...
Peptides Derived From the α-Core and γ-Core Regions of a Putative Silybum marianum Flower Defensin Show Antifungal Activity Against Fusarium graminearum
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-17)
Fusarium graminearum is the etiological agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a disease that produces a significant decrease in wheat crop yield and it is further aggravated by the presence of mycotoxins in the affected ...
Antifungal Activity, Toxicity, and Membranolytic Action of a Mastoparan Analog Peptide
(2019-12-06)
Invasive fungal infections, such as cryptococcosis and paracoccidioidomycosis are associated with significant rates of morbidity and mortality. Cryptococcosis, caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, is distributed worldwide ...
The antimicrobial peptide MK58911-NH2 acts on planktonic, biofilm, and intramacrophage cells of cryptococcus neoformans
(2021-12-01)
Cryptococcosis is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially in AIDS patients. Its treatment is carried out by combining amphotericin B and azoles or flucytosine, which causes unavoidable toxicity ...
Statherin-derived peptides as antifungal strategy against Candida albicans
(2021-05-01)
Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of statherin and its naturally occurring peptides (DR9-2, DR9, GE-12, IT-32, GQ-19, IP-18) on Candida albicans metabolism and biofilm development. Design: ...
Bio- and nanotechnology as the key for clinical application of salivary peptide histatin: A necessary advance
(2020-07-01)
Candida albicans is a common microorganism of human’s microbiota and can be easily found in both respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts as well as in the genitourinary tract. Approximately 30% of people will be infected ...
New small-size peptides possessing antifungal activity
(Elsevier, 2010-01)
The synthesis, in vitro evaluation, and conformational study of a new series of small-size peptides acting as antifungal agents are reported. In a first step of our study we performed a conformational analysis using Molecular ...
Development of a novel anti-biofilm peptide derived from profilin ofSpodoptera frugiperda
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-07-02)
Candidayeast infections are the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Peptides with antimicrobial activity are a promising alternative treatment for such infections. Here, the antifungal activity of a new antimicrobial ...
