Effects of and glycolic extracts on planktonic cells and biofilms of multidrug-resistant strains of and .

Empirical knowledge of natural plant extracts is increasingly proving to be a promising field. The effect of L. (CO) and (CA) glycolic extracts (GlExt) have potential that should be further developed in microbial tests.

Antimicrobial action of four herbal plants over mixed-species biofilms of Candida albicans with four different microorganisms.

This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of four herbal plants glycolic extracts over mixed-species biofilm composed of Candida albicans (C. albicans) and another pathogenic bacterium as alternative therapy to be investigated. Four plants extract of Pfaffia paniculata roots; Hamamelis virginiana leaf, Stryphnodendron barbatiman tree bark and Gymnema sylvestre stem and leaves were tested over multi-species biofilm of C.

Effects of Brazilian green propolis extract on planktonic cells and biofilms of multidrug-resistant strains of and .

Propolis could represent an alternative therapeutic agent for targeting multidrug-resistant bacteria due to its antimicrobial potential. The effect of Brazilian green propolis (BGP) aqueous extract (AqExt) was evaluated on eight multidrug-resistant clinical strains of and , as well as on one reference strain for each bacterial species. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was determined and optimal concentrations were further evaluated in comparison with 0.
