Can passage in Galleria mellonella activate virulence factors of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis as in the murine model?
(2018-01-01)
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a fungal disease restricted to Latin countries, and its etiologic agents derive from the Paracoccidioides genus. Attenuation or loss of virulence in Paracoccidioidesspp. following successive ...
Galleria mellonella as an experimental model for studying periodontopathogens
(2020-11-01)
In the present study, Galleria mellonella was evaluated as a potential infection model for periodontal bacteria, more specifically, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. ...
Galleria mellonella as an experimental model to study human oral pathogens
(2019-05-01)
The oral cavity is home to a microbial community of more than 800 species. This important microbiome is formed by commensal and opportunistic bacteria, fungi and viruses. Several distinct habitats within the mouth support ...
Lactobacillus species increase the survival of Galleria mellonella infected with Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida clinical isolates
(2019-04-01)
Investigation into new therapeutic strategies, such as the use of bacterial isolates with probiotic characteristics, has increased in importance due to the high incidence of Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida ...
Virulence of Cryptococcus sp Biofilms In Vitro and In Vivo using Galleria mellonella as an Alternative Model
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2016-03-09)
Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are fungal pathogens that are most commonly found in infections of the central nervous system, which cause life-threatening meningoencephalitis and can grow as a biofilm. Biofilms are ...
Galleria mellonella as a model host for human pathogens: Recent studies and new perspectives
(2012-01-01)
The number of studies using G. mellonella as a model host for human pathogens has increased significantly in the last few years. Important studies were published from different countries for evaluating the pathogenesis of ...
From moths to caterpillars: Ideal conditions for Galleria mellonella rearing for in vivo microbiological studies
(2018-01-01)
Galleria mellonella is a well-accepted insect model for the study of pathogen-host interactions and antimicrobial compounds. The main advantages of this model include the low cost of maintenance, the fast life cycle, the ...
Immunomodulatory effect of photodynamic therapy in Galleria mellonella infected with Porphyromonas gingivalis
(2017-09-01)
Porphyromonas gingivalis is an important pathogen in the development of periodontal disease. Our study investigated if the treatment with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) that employs a nontoxic dye, followed by ...

(Universidad Privada de TacnaPE, 2019)
Este trabajo de tesis se realizó para evaluar al polietileno como alimento de la larva Galleria mellonella como alternativa en la biodegradación, la investigación constó de tres (03) tratamientos y 6 repeticiones, y un ...
Effects of surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) eluate on Candida spp.: antifungal activity, anti-biofilm properties, and protective effects on Galleria mellonella against C. albicans infection
(2019-10-21)
Surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) is a bioactive filler produced by PRG technology, which is applied to various dental materials. The inhibitory effects of S-PRG eluate against Candida, the most common fungal oral ...
