Candida species are associated with surface or systemic infections that challenge public health in the face of emerging resistance to antifungal agents for clinical use. Among the potential sources for new antifungal agents, we highlight the antimicrobial properties of essential oils extracted from medicinal plants and plants of the Copaifera genus. In this context, this work will aim to …
Bacteria and fungi form highly structured, often surface-associated, communities termed biofilms. Environmental factors such as pH, temperature, nutrients and oxygen availably added to genes expression, which enhanced or inhibited the metabolic pathways that have influence in adaptation of the planktonic to biofilm growth mode of microorganisms. However, interactions between bacteria-fung…
Hemodialysis is a treatment for patients with chronic renal failure. However, microbial contamination of hemodialysis fluids is a serious problem. Various chemical compounds are used for disinfection and/or sterilization, and the use of sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid being common. However, little is known about the efficacy of disinfectants on eukaryotic organisms such as fungi, s…
Candida species express virulence factors and cause infections in addition to being able to form monospecies or polymicrobial biofilms. In the mouth, the resident microbiota plays an important role in the nonspecific host resistance to exogenous pathogens. However, microbiota may also contribute to the pathogenicity of numerous clinical conditions, such as oral streptococci that secrete e…
The use of medicinal plants and their derivatives for the treatment and relief of signs and symptoms of diseases is one of the oldest means used by man. Some products of plant origin have great therapeutic potential, which can be explored in studies, to demonstrate efficacy and safety in their use, through laboratory tests. Fungi of the genus Candida are the most isolated of immunocomprom…
Candida is a yeast associated with superficial or systemic infections that has become a public health problem in the face of emerging resistance to antimicrobials, especially to azoles, drugs of choice for the candidiasis treatment. Among the potential sources for new antifungals, the antimicrobial properties of essential oils are highlighted, evidencing the dynamic interactions between h…
Candida is a yeast commonly found in the microbiota of the skin and mucosae of healthy individuals, whose pathogenicity can be activated by imbalance of host defense mechanisms, leading to pathologies called candidiasis. Although treatment with azole drugs is recommended, there are reports of Candida resistance to various antifungal agents. In addition, Candida has been associated with bi…
