indiscriminate and excessive uses of antibiotics may be lead promote the emergence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and side effects in patients. therefore the researchers recently have focused on the use of natural resources, especially medicinal plants. ruta graveolens is a kind of medical plants which contains antifungal and antibacterial components and use in traditional medicine in i...

conclusions the monitoring of antifungal susceptibilities of candida species isolated from clinical sources is highly recommended for the efficient management of patients. moreover, the trailing effect should be taken into consideration once the interpretation of the results is intended. results among the tested antifungal drugs in this study, the highest rate of resistance was observed against...

highly stabilized monodispersed silver nanoparticles (agnps) were synthesized by rhizopus stolonifer and the antifungal efficacy of silver nanoparticles (agnps) against candida sp. were studied. characterization of biosynthesized nanosilver was made by tem-eds and afm. minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of biosynthesized agnps, amphotericin b, and fluconazole have been studied on pathogenic...

introduction: curcumin is the active ingredient in the traditional herbal remedy and dietary spice turmeric (curcuma longa). curcumin has a surprisingly wide range of beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic activity. on basis of recent studies; it has antifungal and antibacterial effects. the aim of this study was in-vitro evaluation...

one of the superficial problems of public health is mycotic inflection that its incidence is not correctly known. the most important disease of them is dermatophytosis that comes through by dermatophytes as the major group of keratinophilic fungi. honey is bee product that has been used as a medicine since ancient times in many cultures, and is still used in folk medicine. this study was design...

in this study, antifungal property of olive leaf extracts against candida albicans ptcc-5027 was examined. fresh olive leaf extracts were prepared using distilled water in a soxhlet apparatus. the antifungal activity of the extract was analyzed by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) and minimum fungicidal concentration (mfc), using the microdilution test and disc diffusion assa...

background: in recent years, drug resistance to human pathogenic fungi has been increased. medicinal plants are one way to overcome antibiotic resistance. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal and inhibitory activity of five medicinal plants on the growth of candida albicans. methods: this study was done in the microbiology lab of shahid bahonar university of kerman, iran in 2015...

today, rocky monuments are being exposed to different physical, chemical and biological factors and therefore going to be ruined. one of physical destructive factors is growing of fungus and lichens on the rocks. this research aims to make use of silver nano-particles produced through microbial method in order to prevent growth and progression of fungus detached from rocky surfaces in meymand h...

S100A8 and S100A9 and their heterocomplex calprotectin (S100A8/A9) are abundant cytosolic constituents in human neutrophils previously shown to possess antifungal activity. This study was designed to investigate mechanisms involved in the modulation of the antifungal properties of S100A8/A9. S100A8, S100A9 and site-directed mutants of both proteins were tested for their antifungal effect agains...
