Internalization and Colocalization of a Polyclonal Antibody Against Porphyromonas gingivalis FimA type I in Infected Cells.

Objective:  The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of a rabbit polyclonal antibody specific to FimA type I (FimI) protein internalized into infected cells.

Materials And Methods:  Rabbits were immunized with FimI protein and the serum was collected for immunoglobulin (Ig) purification. For visualization of the antibody inside the cells, it was labeled with Cy3 dye.

Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory Potential of Stem Extract.

Background: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Evidence for the anti inflammatory activity of Stem Extract (MSE) in periodontal disease is limited.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of MSE on the growth of periodontopathic bacteria and expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human Periodontal Ligament (hPDL) fibroblasts.

Inhibitory effect of alpha-mangostin on Candida biofilms.

The objective of this study was to determine the inhibitory effect of alpha-mangostin on Candida biofilms. Candida species including Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida tropicalis, and Candida glabrata were tested. Candida biofilms were formed in flat-bottomed 96-well microtiter plates.

Inhibitory Effect of Alpha-Mangostin on Adhesion of Candida albicans to Denture Acrylic.

Objective: Candida-associated denture stomatitis is a very common disease affecting denture wearers. It is characterized by the presence of yeast biofilm on the denture, primarily associated with C. albicans.

Antifungal activity of coronarin D against Candida albicans.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the antifungal activity of coronarin D on Candida albicans and its activity was compared with clotrimazole and nystatin.

Methods: Coronarin D was extracted by liquid chromatography and used in antifungal testing. The inhibitory effect of coronarin D on C.

Antifungal activity of alpha-mangostin against Candida albicans.

This study was conducted to examine the activity of alpha-mangostin against Candida albicans, the most important microorganism implicated in oral candidiasis. Its activity was compared to Clotrimazole and Nystatin. Results showed that alpha-mangostin was effective against C.
