Candida albicans survival, growth and biofilm formation are differently affected by mouthwashes: an in vitro study.
Candida albicans is the most common cause of oral mycoses. The aim of the present study was to investigate in vitro the susceptibility of C. albicans to mouthwashes, in terms of growth, survival and biofilm formation. Candida albicans, laboratory strain SC5314, and 7 commercial mouthwashes were employed: 3 with 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate; 1 with 0.06% chlorhexidine digluconate and 250 ppm F...
متن کاملBiofabricated Silver Nanoparticles Synergistically Activate Amphotericin B Against Mature Biofilm Forms of Candida Albicans
Received: April 27, 2017 Revised: July 27, 2017 Accepted: August 10, 2017 Abstract: Background: Biofilm formation by Candida albicans is a significant clinical challenge. Fungal biofilms are resistant to most of the currently available antifungal agents. Amphotericin-B (AmB) is an antifungal agent used for the treatment of systematic fungal infections but it is well known for its toxicities and...
متن کاملEngineered control of cell morphology in vivo reveals distinct roles for yeast and filamentous forms of Candida albicans during infection.
It is widely assumed that the ability of Candida albicans to switch between different morphologies is required for pathogenesis. However, most virulence studies have used mutants that are permanently locked into either the yeast or filamentous forms which are avirulent but unsuitable for discerning the role of morphogenetic conversions at the various stages of the infectious process. We have co...
متن کاملThe Antifungal Effect of Endocyn Against Candida albicans Biofilm
Introduction: Endocyn, a super-oxidized water-based irrigation solution, has been reported to be non-toxic against mammalian cells, yet highly efficacious against bacteria; however, its effect against fungi and fungal biofilms remain unknown. This study evaluated the antifungal efficacy of Endocyn compared to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX). Methods: An in vitro biofilm syst...
متن کاملThe efficacy of gaseous ozone against different forms of Candida albicans
Background and Purpose: Ozone is an inorganic molecule with effective antimicrobial properties. Clinical treatment of ozonated water was used for the elimination of Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis, endotoxins, and biofilms from root canals. In addition, its therapeutic effects for tinea pedis, ulcers, and leishmaniasis were investigated. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate ...
