Despite many advances, biomaterial-associated infections continue to be a major clinical problem. In order minimize bacterial adhesion, material surface modifications are currently being investigated and natural products possess large potential for the design of innovative coatings. We report bioguided phytochemical investigation Pityrocarpa moniliformis characterization tannins by mass spectrometry. It was demonstrated that B-type linked proanthocyanidins-coated surfaces, here termed Green...
Trichomonas vaginalis is the etiological agent of trichomoniasis, most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease (STD) in world, with 276.4 million new cases each year. T. can be naturally infected Mycoplasma hominis and Trichomonasvirus species. This study aimed to evaluate prevalence four distinct viruses (TVVs) M. among isolates from patients Porto Alegre city, South Brazil. An additional goal this was investigate whether there association between metronidazole resistance presence...
Trichomonas vaginalis is the etiologic agent of trichomonosis, most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. This infection associated with several health consequences, including cervical and prostate cancers HIV acquisition. Gene expression analysis has been facilitated because available genome sequences large-scale transcriptomes in T. vaginalis, particularly using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), one used methods for molecular studies. Reference...
Trichomonas vaginalis causes trichomonosis, the most common, non-viral sexually transmitted disease. To test anti-Trichomonas agents, usually many with low water solubility, organic solvents and surfactant agents should be used. Therefore, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of acetone, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, Tween 20, 80, Triton X-100 was determined against T. isolates using quantitative resazurin method. Our results showed that can employed as vehicles to bioactive...
Context: The local communities living in the Brazilian Caatinga biome have a significant body of traditional knowledge on considerable number medicinal plants used to heal several maladies.Objective: Based ethnopharmacological data, this study screened 23 aqueous plant extracts against two well-known models biofilm-forming bacteria: Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Materials methods: Crystal violet assay scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were evaluate effect biofilm...
Trichomonas vaginalis , a flagellate protozoan, is the causative agent of trichomonosis, most common nonviral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Taking into account increased prevalence metronidazole-resistant isolates, alternative drugs are essential for successful treatment. Natural products source new drugs, and popular wisdom about use medicinal plants powerful tool in this search. In study, activity 10 extensively used daily life by Mbyá-Guarani indigenous group was evaluated...
