Abstract: BACKGROUND: Candidiasis is the most common opportunistic fungal infection of the oral cavity caused by fungi of the genus Candida and usually associated with immunosuppressed individuals. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the presence of oral candidiasis and identify the presence of Candida spp. in liv...
Introduction: Onychomycosis are fungal nail infections that can be caused by dermatophytes, non-dermatophytic molds and yeasts, which are capable of breaking down keratin. Mixed onychomycosis are a controversial subject and they are the outcome of the combination of two dermatophytes, dermatophytes/nonde...
Abstract This study analyzed the antifungal activity of phytoconstituents from linalool on Candida spp. strains, in vitro, isolated from patients with clinical diagnoses of oral candidiasis associated with the use of a dental prosthesis. Biological samples were collected from 12 patients using complete d...
Twenty-eight native plants mainly used to cure diseases related to microbial infection and stress oxidative disorders were selected to test the antimicrobial activity against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, B. subtilis, and C. albicans using diffusion and microdilution methods. The antioxidant activit...

Introdução: Artrites sépticas de Cândida sp são incomuns, graves, e podem atingir elevado grau de morbimortalidade se não tratadas adequadamente. Ocorrem por disseminação hematogênica, especialmente em imunocomprometidos submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos ou por inoculação direta em pacien...
Infections related to Candida albicans biofilms and subsequent antifungal resistance have become more common with the increased use of indwelling medical devices. Regimens for preventing fungal biofilm formation are needed, particularly in high-risk patients. In this study, we investigated the biofilm fo...
RESUMEN Actualmente asistimos a un cambio constante y continuo del panorama epidemiológico de la resistencia de levaduras a antifúngicos, relacionado con el tipo de huésped, la etiología de la enfermedad, el microorganismo involucrado y sus mecanismos de resistencia. Esta situación epidemiológica h...
Introducción: La candidemia se convirtió en una infección importante del torrente sanguíneo que se asocia frecuentemente con índices elevados de mortalidad y morbilidad. Las especies de Candida generan del 70% al 80% de las infecciones micóticas invasivas del torrente sanguíneo y son la cuarta cau...
Abstract Introduction: Fungal endocarditis is reported less frequently than bacterial endocarditis, with an incidence of 0-12% of the total pediatric infective endocarditis. Objective: In this study, the incidence of infective endocarditis in Candida bloodstream infections in a tertiary hospital during...
