Effect of yeast probiotic cell wall extract on allergenicity in A549 cells.

Background And Purpose: Interest in probiotic use for respiratory allergies has increased. In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of cell wall extract of on as an allergenic fungus and its effectiveness in reducing inflammatory cytokines in A549 cells sensitized with conidia.

Materials And Methods: Cell wall of was prepared and challenged by conidia at various concentrations.

Antimicrobial and anti-biofilm properties of oleuropein against Escherichia coli and fluconazole-resistant isolates of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata.

Background: Side effects associated with antimicrobial drugs, as well as their high cost, have prompted a search for low-cost herbal medicinal substances with fewer side effects. These substances can be used as supplements to medicine or to strengthen their effects. The current study investigated the effect of oleuropein on the inhibition of fungal and bacterial biofilm in-vitro and at the molecular level.

The inhibitory effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on clinical isolates of Microsporum canis in dogs and cats.

Introduction: Microsporum canis is the most common dermatophyte infecting pets and their owners, and its long duration of treatment and increasing rate of drug resistance have caused the attention of researchers to be directed towards the use of nanoparticles and new alternatives for treatment. This study investigated the antifungal effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on clinical isolates of M. canis in dogs and cats and subtilisin 1 (SUB1) gene expression.

Antifungal susceptibility profile of yeasts isolated from the oral cavity of cats.

Background: Microorganisms living in the oral cavity play an important role in health and disease of the host. Cats are susceptible to oral infections, and it is documented that fungi in the oral cavity could impact these infections. Antifungal resistance has been increasing in recent years.

Descriptive epidemiology of dermatophytosis in rodents.

Introduction: Dermatophytosis is a zoonotic disease caused by a group of keratinophilic fungi called dermatophytes.

Objectives: Since the epidemiology of diseases revolves over time, this research studies the incidence of dermatophytosis among rodents referred to mycology laboratory during 2019-2021.

Methods: A total of 163 rodents including rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters suspecting having dermatophytosis were sampled by scraping lesions.
