Abstract Candida is a common yeast in opportunistic fungal diseases around the world and usually colonized on skin mucosal membranes. The purpose of this study was to synthesize chitosan–silver–copper nanocomposite investigate its antifungal effects albicans . Silver, copper chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized individually. Then, copper–silver–chitosan synthesized. These are approved by transmission electron microscope, structure also confirmed scanning microscope. minimum inhibitory...
In this study, we report a novel and facile colorimetric assay based on silver citrate-coated Au@Ag nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) as chemosensor for the naked-eye detection of morphine (MOR). The developed optical sensing approach relied aggregation NPs upon exposure to morphine, which led an evident color variation from light-yellow brown. have been prepared by two different protocols, using high- low-power ultrasonic irradiation. sonochemical method was essential properties resulting...
Amphotericin B (AmB) is an effective antifungal agent; however, the application of AmB associated with a number drawbacks. Application nanoparticles (NPs) known to improve efficiency drug delivery target tissues, compared traditional methods. In this study, novel method NPs preparation was developed. The trimethyl chitosan (TMC) synthesized using low molecular weight and used for TMC-NPs through ionic gelation method. Afterward, AmB-loaded (TMC-NPs/AmB) were prepared their potential testes....
Crocus sativus L. (saffron) is a valuable plant which native to Iran. Saffron the dried stigmata of flowering part that usually contaminated with different bacteria and fungi through production process. Antimicrobial properties silver nanoparticles are well recognized. To survey effects nanosilver packaging on microbiological status spiked, saffron samples over six month period were chosen. from five regions Khorasan province purchased de novo frequencies microbial contaminants determined...
Soil is the main habitat of saprophytic and pathogenic fungi. Mucoromycotina constitutes a large group soil fungi, with certain opportunistic members causing systemic infections in immunocompromised hosts. The majority human animal are caused by genera Rhizopus, Mucor, Rhizomucor, Lichtheimia (Absidia), Cunninghamella, Mortierella. Accordingly, present study, we aimed to isolate identify order Mucorales, using molecular assays morphological features.In total, 340 samples were collected from...
The Mucorales are an important opportunistic fungi that can cause mucormycosis in immunocompromised patients. fast and precise diagnosis of is very because, if the not made early enough, dissemination often occurs. It now well established molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) feasible reliable tools for accurate agents.The present study was conducted to evaluate validity PCR-RFLP identification some Mucor Lichtheimia species...
Here we report a case of 55-year-old Indian male presenting with multiple subcutaneous cysts, which developed from painful nodules at the dorsal right wrist joint. Subsequently nodule appeared on left knee Cytological examination swelling revealed suppurative inflammatory lesion consisting neutrophils, lymphocytes, multinucleated giant cells and few fungal elements, without involvement overlying skin. Exophiala spinifera was cultured (CBS 125607) its identity confirmed by sequencing internal...
Background: Adhesion and biofilm formation are two important steps in Candida pathogenesis. The aim of the current study was to investigate presence bcr1 gene albicans (C. ) isolates from women with vaginal candidiasis its impact on formation. Methods: We used 50 clinical which confirmed C. by PCR-RFLP. Then total RNA extracted glass bead lysis buffer, cDNA synthesized using reverse transcriptase enzyme. RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptase PCR) evaluate expression gene. Biofilm evaluated 96-well...
Fungal polysaccharides are well-known for the medicinal properties such as antitumor and immunomodulating effects. Hence, this study evaluated effects of polysaccharide extracted from Fusarium sp. isolated soil samples Karaj district, Alborz, Iran along with its taxonomic study. The filamentous fungus strain FK1 was sample Karaj, Iran. identified based on cultural, morphological 18 S rRNA gene parameters Fusarium. Further, cultured in fermented broth modified (PDB) 10 days at 25 °C. mycelium...
Background: Due to long-term treatment of dermatophytic lesions, such as tinea unguium and using antifungal drugs, which cause side effects, it is essential investigate new drugs with greater absorption fewer nano-drugs. Trichophyton rubrum Microsporum canis are important dermatophyte species. To strategy treatment, researchers have tried find a drug extensive therapeutic effects short-duration treatment. In this context, nano-drugs gained great interest in improving the efficacy properties...
Medical centers (that is, hospitals and clinics) in metropolitan areas produce substantial amounts of hazardous waste both solid liquid (wastewater) forms. Unless medical manage their with appropriate care, the significant hazards posed to urban residents far outweigh benefits services. Therefore, comprehensive environmental management programs need be developed order minimize associated impacts improve performance. In addition identifying consequences, developing a performance assessment...
Background: Increasing azole resistance among Aspergillus strains was observed over the last decade. For this reason, viable alternatives for current medicines are required. Objectives: The study aimed at producing fluconazole-loaded liposomal nanoparticles and comparing in vitro antifungal activity of fluconazole nano-fluconazole on flavus A. fumigatus species isolated from patients poultry. Methods: Fifty isolates were collected visceral superficial fungal lesions humans as well pulmonary...
Background: Dermatophytosis is one of the most common fungal infections in humans. Antifungals such as fluconazole are effectively used for treating dermatophytosis; however, drug resistance was observed many cases. Therefore, a newer treatment strategy essential. Methods: This study (Conducted Laboratory School Public Health, Tehran University Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 2018) evaluated antifungal susceptibility nano compared to conventional on dermatophyte isolates using CLSI...
Dermatophytosis induced by Trichophyton mentagrophytes is a major human and animal fungal contamination. Antifungals like terbinafine fluconazole are widely used to treat dermatophytosis; nevertheless, the prevalence of drug resistance has increased. Hence, novel curative strategies needed. In present study, we compared efficacies conventional nanoform antifungals agents in guinea pig model dermatophytosis.Guinea pigs (n=36) were injected (the posterior dorsal portion) with conidia. The...
