Antifungal Potential of Plant Species from Brazilian Caatinga against Dermatophytes
Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex, or Trichophyton spp. are the main etiologic agents of dermatophytosis, whose treatment is limited by the high cost of antifungal treatments, their various side effects, and the emergence of resistance amongst these species. This study evaluated the in vitro antidermatophytic activity of 23 crude extracts from nine plant species of sem...
متن کاملAntifungal activity of plant extracts against dermatophytes.
The aqueous extracts (15 micrograms ml-1 medium) of 22 plants used in folkloric medicine in Palestine were investigated for their antifungal activity and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against nine isolates of Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton violaceum. The extract of the different plant species reduced colony growth of the three dermatophytes by 36 to 1...
متن کاملDiscovery of Antifungal Compounds from Kampo Medicine Against Dermatophytes
Background. Multi-drug resistant superbugs are a serious health threat due to limited treatment options and high mortality rates. Certain superbug strains are now resistant to as many as 36 representative FDA-approved antibiotics, including Colistin and Carbapenem antibiotics, widely considered as the last line of defense against untreatable infections. Nitric oxide (NO) is a diatomic free radi...
متن کاملAntifungal potential of essential oil and ethanol extracts of Lonicera japonica Thunb. against dermatophytes
The antifungal potential of essential oil and ethanolic leaf extracts of Lonicera japonica Thunb. was evaluated for controlling the growth of dermatophytes. The oil (1,000 ppm) and extracts (1,500 ppm) of L. japonica revealed 55.1-70.3 % and 40.1-65.5 % antidermatophytic effect against Microsporum canis KCTC 6348, 6349, 6591, Trichophyton rubrum KCTC 6345, 6352, 6375, Trichophyton mentagrophyte...
متن کاملAntifungal activity of Copaifera langsdorffii Desf oleoresin against dermatophytes.
Dermatophytoses are mycoses that affect keratinized tissues in both humans and animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the antifungal activity of the oleoresin extracted from Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. against the strains Microsporum canis ATCC 32903, Microsporum gypseum ATCC 14683, Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 11481 and Trichophyton rubrum CCT 5507. The antimicrobial activity w...
