Abstract:

Growth inhibition of Aspergillus fumigatus,Aspergillus flavus and Fusarum solani exposed to the essential oils including Thyme, Agastache and Satureja were studied. Disc Diffusion Method was used to evaluate the fungal growth inhibitory effects of the essential oils. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) of the oils were determined and compared with each other. The results showed that all three essential oils examined, had antifungal effects against three fungi species. The MIC data revealed that Thyme oil was the most effective essential oil with the MIC of 62.5 μl ml-1.

Screening of Essential Oils of Angiospermic Plants for Their Fungitoxicity against Aspergillus Flavus and Aspergillus Niger

Essential oils obtained from plants have recently gained a great scientific interest as a potent source of antimicrobials of natural origin. The present study highlights the antifungal activity of essential oils against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger. During screening of essential oils of six selected Angiospermic plants at 2000 ppm (mg/l) against the test fungus, Mentha arvensis and ...

Amphotericin B formulations variably enhance antifungal activity of human neutrophils and monocytes against Fusarium solani: comparison with Aspergillus fumigatus.

OBJECTIVES Lipid formulations of amphotericin B (AMBF) are widely used in the treatment of life-threatening infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus and Fusarium solani. We aimed to compare the immunomodulatory effects of four AMBF, deoxycholate (DAMB), liposomal (LAMB), lipid complex (ABLC) and colloidal dispersion (ABCD), on the oxidative antifungal activities of human neutrophils (PMNs) an...

Elastase and elastase inhibitor from Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger.

Elastolytic and elastase inhibitory activities were investigated for 13 strains of Aspergillus fumigatus, three strains of Aspergillus flavus and three strains of Aspergillus niger. Nine of the 13 strains of A. fumigatus and all strains of A. flavus demonstrated elastase activity (more than 1 unit ml(-1)). Six of the 13 strains of A. fumigatus and all strains of A. flavus expressed elastase inh...

In vitro antifungal susceptibility of clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus in Brazil.

The in vitro susceptibility of 105 clinical and environmental strains of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus to antifungal drugs, such as amphotericin B, azoles, and echinocandins was evaluated by the broth microdilution method proposed by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). Following the EUCAST-proposed breakpoints, 20% and 25% of the clinical and ...
