Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Peganum Harmala Extract Against Candida Species
Background and Aim: There are some rich sources of antifungals in medicinal herbs. They have general acceptance due to their low cost and insignificant side effects. The efficacy of Peganum harmala (P. harmala) extract against Candida species was investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, we used the maceration technique to obtain P. harmala aqueous and al...
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 کاملAntifungal and Anti-Biofilm Activities of Acetone Lichen Extracts against Candida albicans.
Candida albicans is a commensal coloniser of the human gastrointestinal tract and an opportunistic pathogen, especially thanks to its capacity to form biofilms. This lifestyle is frequently involved in infections and increases the yeast resistance to antimicrobials and immune defenses. In this context, 38 lichen acetone extracts have been prepared and evaluated for their activity against C. alb...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of the virulence factors of clinical Candida isolates and the anti-biofilm activity of Elettaria cardamomum against multi-drug resistant Candida albicans
Background and Purpose: Today, treatment of life-threatening fungal infections, caused by Candida species, has become a major problem. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the antifungal susceptibility patterns of different clinical Candida isolates, determine the virulence factors in multi-drug resistant (MDR) Candida species, and assess the anti-biofilm activity of Elettaria cardamomum ...
متن کاملCandida albicans biofilm-defective mutants.
Biofilm formation plays a key role in the life cycles and subsistence of many microorganisms. For the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, biofilm development is arguably a virulence trait, because medical implants that serve as biofilm substrates are significant risk factors for infection. The development of C. albicans biofilms in vitro proceeds through an early phase, in which yeast cells...
