Drug resistance of pathogenic microorganisms has become a global public health problem, which prompted the development new materials with antimicrobial properties. In this context, nanohybrids are an alternative due to their synergistic study, we used environmentally friendly one-step approach synthesize graphene oxide (GO) decorated silver nanoparticles (GO–AgNPs). By process, spherical AgNPs average size less than 4 nm homogeneously distributed on surface partially reduced GO can be...
To update the knowledge of epidemiology fungaemia episodes in Spain, species implicated and their vitro antifungal susceptibilities. Episodes were identified prospectively over 13 months at 44 hospitals. Molecular methods used to determine cryptic inside Candida parapsilosis glabrata complexes. Susceptibility amphotericin B, anidulafungin, caspofungin, fluconazole, flucytosine, itraconazole, micafungin, posaconazole voriconazole was determined by a microdilution colorimetric method. New...
A 13-month prospective multicenter study including 44 hospitals was carried out to evaluate the epidemiology of Candida parapsilosis complex candidemia in Spain. Susceptibility amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, anidulafungin, caspofungin, and micafungin tested by microdilution colorimetric method. total 364 C. isolates were identified molecular methods: (90.7%), orthopsilosis (8.2%), metapsilosis (1.1%). Most candidemias (C. parapsilosis,...
Abstract Background Candida -associated denture stomatitis is a frequent infectious disease. Treatment of this oral condition difficult because failures and recurrences are common. The aim study was to test the in vitro antifungal activity pure constituents essentials oils. Methods Eight terpenic derivatives (carvacrol, farnesol, geraniol, linalool, menthol, menthone, terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol), phenylpropanoid (eugenol), phenethyl alcohol (tyrosol) fluconazole were evaluated against 38...
The design of new materials with antimicrobial properties has emerged in response to the need for preventing and controlling growth pathogenic microorganisms without use antibiotics. In this study, partially reduced graphene oxide decorated silver nanoparticles (GO–AgNPs) was incorporated as a reinforcing filler antibacterial poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) preparation alcohol)/graphene oxide-silver nanocomposites (PVA/GO–AgNPs). AgNPs, spherical shape an average size 3.1 nm, were uniformly...
Although the Sensititre Yeast-One (SYO) and Etest methods are widely utilized, interpretive criteria not available for triazole susceptibility testing of Candida or Aspergillus species. We collected fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole SYO MICs from 39 laboratories representing all continents (method/agent-dependent) 11,171 albicans , 215 C. dubliniensis 4,418 glabrata species complex, 157 guilliermondii ( Meyerozyma ), 676 krusei Pichia kudriavzevii 298 lusitaniae...
Oral candidiasis is frequently associated with Candida biofilms. Biofilms are microbial communities related to persistent, recalcitrant and difficult to-treat infections. Conventional treatments not sufficient overcome biofilm-associated candidiasis; thus, the search of new antifungal compounds necessary. In current study, we have evaluated effect three phytocompounds, carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde thymol, against planktonic sessile cells. Reduction in biofilm biomass metabolic activity was...
Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen responsible for nosocomial outbreaks of invasive candidiasis. Although several studies on the pathogenicity this species have been reported, knowledge C. virulence still limited. This study aims to analyze auris, using one aggregating isolate and eleven non-aggregating isolates from different clinical origins (blood, urine oropharyngeal specimens) in two alternative host models candidiasis: Caenorhabditis elegans Galleria...
