Terpinen-4-ol, tyrosol, and ß-lapachone as potential antifungals against dimorphic fungi

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of terpinen-4-ol, tyrosol, and β-lapachone against strains of Coccidioides posadasii in filamentous phase (n = 22) and Histoplasma capsulatum in both filamentous (n = 40) and yeast phases (n = 13), using the broth dilution method...

Is the emergence of fungal resistance to medical triazoles related to their use in the agroecosystems? A mini review

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Triazole fungicides are used broadly for the control of infectious diseases of both humans and plants. The surge in resistance to triazoles among pathogenic populations is an emergent issue both in agriculture and medicine. The non-rational use of fungicides with site-specific modes of action, s...

Effects of the protective, curative, and eradicative applications of chitosan against Penicillium expansum in apples

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Apple is one of the most important temperate fruit to Brazil economy, and the use of synthetic chemicals has been the main method for reducing postharvest diseases, such as the blue mold, caused by Penicillium expansum. This work intends to evaluate the practical utilization of chitosan for blue...

Mobile genetic elements related to carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is widely recognized as an important pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. The treatment of these infections is often difficult due to the acquisition of resistance genes. A. baumannii presents a high genetic plasticity which allows the accumulation of these res...

Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate concentrations changes in rat spinal cord associated with the activation of urinary bladder afferents. A microdialysis study.

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 14 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective To determine adenosine 5’-triphosphate levels in the interstice of spinal cord L6-S1 segment, under basal conditions or during mechanical and chemical activation of urinary bladder afferents. Methods A microdialysis probe was transversally implanted in the dorsal half of spin...

Impact of gender in early structural changes of contrast induced nephropathy in rats

J. bras. nefrol; 38 (4), 2016
Abstract Introduction: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a major iatrogenic cause of acute kidney injury. Experimental studies have shown that intravascular injection causes intense vacuolization of the contrast agent in the proximal renal tubules cells, preceding the increase in serum creatinine, a...

Acute kidney injury in HIV-infected children: comparison of patients according to the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 92 (6), 2016
Abstract Objective: To assess clinical and laboratory data, and acute kidney injury (AKI) in HIV-infected children using and not using highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) prior to admission. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with HIV-infected pediatric patients (<16 years). Child...

Piper aduncum against Haemonchus contortus isolates: cross resistance and the research of natural bioactive compounds

Abstract The anthelminthic activity of the essential oil (EO) of Piper aduncum L. was tested in vitro on eggs and larvae of resistant (Embrapa2010) and susceptible (McMaster) isolates of Haemonchus contortus. The EO was obtained by steam distillation and its components identified by chromatography. EO co...

Assessment of different Lippia sidoides genotypes regarding their acaricidal activity against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

Abstract The aim of this study was to select different genotypes of Lippia sidoides with the highest activity against larvae and engorged females of the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. The germplasms studied were LSID006, LSID102, LSID103 and LSID104. The LSID104 genotype, that presented carvac...
