Currently approximately 75 to 88% of fungal infections are caused by Candida species. Candida albicans is the main microorganism causing these infections, which can start in the form of oral candidiasis and, without proper treatment, progress to a more serious systemic infection. This species of fungus already shows resistance against the main drugs used for treatment. In this case, the m…
Candidiasis is an infection of the human oral and vaginal mucosa caused by the microorganism Candida albicans. The pathogenicity of Candida species is related to the formation of biofilms doing microorganism resistant to conventional drugs and the host immune system. In this case, the most commonly used antifungal agents such as polyene (nystatin and amphotericin B) or azole (itraconazole…
The fight against infectious diseases has been the subject of many studies today that they are already among the leading causes of death of the human population. This occurs, in large part by the development of multiresistant microorganisms to the antibiotic on the market, due to intensive use and their inadequate. In this context, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), found naturally in living …
The fight against infectious diseases has been the subject of many studies in recent times, owing to the fact that they are among the leading causes of death of the human population. This occurs, in large part by the development of microorganisms multiresistant to the commercial antibiotics available on the market, due to intensive and inadequate applying. In this context, antimicrobial p…
The continued use of topical and systemic antifungal treatment in conventional oral thrush has resulted in multi-resistant Candida albicans. For this reason, new technologies for drug development are a promising strategy in the field of biotechnology. In this way, peptides with the antifungal effects produced by plants, animals, and microorganisms are used as models for developing new dru…
The use of new technologies for the development of more effective drugs to combat bacterial infections shows up as a promising strategy in the health field. In this whay peptides with antibiotic effect produced by plants, animals and microorganisms are used as models for developing new drugs with applications in human and animal health. The intracellular toxins produced by post-segregatio…
