Antibacterial and antifungal activity of methanolic extracts of Salix alba L. against various disease causing pathogens

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract The present study was aimed to manifest the antibacterial and antifungal activity of methanolic extracts of Salix alba L. against seven Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens e.g. Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus (1), S. aureus (2), Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli (1)...

Higienización y eliminación fúngica en instalaciones industriales para la disminución de riesgos ocupacionales

Se ha comprobado que la exposición a bioaerosoles se asocia con varios efectos sobre la salud, como enfermedades pulmonares y alergias. El presente estudio transversal tuvo como objetivo investigar la contaminación por hongos en varias superficies pertenecientes a dos industrias de alimentos. La toma d...

Conversion of renewable substrates for biosurfactant production by Rhizopus arrhizus UCP 1607 and enhancing the removal of diesel oil from marine soil

BACKGROUND: The use of agro-industrial wastes to produce high value-added biomolecules such as biosurfactants is a promising approach for lowering the total costs of production. This study aimed to produce biosurfactants using Rhizopus arrhizus UCP 1607, with crude glycerol (CG) and corn steep liquor (CS...

Micosis rino-orbito-cerebral: coinfección por Aspergillus sclerotiorum y Rhizopus microsporum en un huésped inmunosuprimido. Reporte de un caso

Infectio; 23 (1), 2019
Las micosis rino-cerebral, rino-orbito-cerebral y sinusopulmonar ocasionadas por especies de Mucorales y de Aspergillus se constituyen como una causa importan te de infección fúngica invasora asociada a una mortalidad mayor al 30%. La coinfección por dos o más especies en la forma rino-orbito-cerebra...

Rev. méd. Maule; 33 (2), 2018
Mucormycosis is an infrequent fungal infection This infection is difficult to diagnose and treat and have a high morbility and mortality and affects immunocompromised patients, especially those patients with decompensated diabetes mellitus. We report the case of a 60 years old diabetic patient with poor ...

Growth modeling to control (in vitro) Fusarium verticillioides and Rhizopus stolonifer with thymol and carvacrol

Rev. argent. microbiol; 50 (1), 2018
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity (in vitro) of thymol and carvacrol alone or in mixtures against Fusarium verticillioides and Rhizopus stolonifer, and to obtain primary growth models. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was evaluated with fungal radial growth with thymol o...

Bioconversion of waste cooking oil glycerol from cabbage extract to lactic acid by Rhizopus microsporus

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract Glycerol from spent oil was processed by transesterification for biodiesel production. Although glycerol contains many types of impurities, it can be used as a C-source for lactic acid production by fungi, such as Rhizopus microsporus. In this study, we found that wild type R. microsporus (LTH23...

Production of flavor compounds from olive mill waste by Rhizopus oryzae and Candida tropicalis

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of flavor compounds from olive mill waste by microbial fermentation of Rhizopus oryzae and Candida tropicalis. Olive mill waste fermentations were performed in shake and bioreactor cultures. Production of flavor compounds from olive mil...

Cutaneous mucormycosis in advanced HIV disease

Braz. j. infect. dis; 20 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT Angionvasive mucormycosis is an emerging fungal disease known to affect mainly diabetics or subjects with profound neutropenia. Infection usually occurs through the inhalation route, but cutaneous inoculation may occur after trauma or burns. However, mucormycosis remains unusual in HIV infection...

Mucormicosis rinoorbitaria nosocomial causada por Rhizopus oryzae en un lactante desnutrido
Rhyno-orbitary mucomycosis due to Rhyzopus oryzae in a melnourished infant

Introducción. La mucormicosis es una infección causada por zigomicetos del orden de los mucorales, la cual ha ido en aumento en relación con alguna forma de inmunocompromiso. La forma rinoorbitaria es considerada un estadio temprano de la presentación rinocerebral, que al ser sometida a un tratamient...
