Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Raimunda Samia Nogueira Brilhante"
- Raimunda Samia Nogueira Brilhante's recent research focuses on developing innovative antifungal strategies against various resistant fungal infections, exploring the efficacy of natural compounds like chitosan and anthraquinones in combating biofilm formation and pathogenicity in different species.
- Her investigations highlight the potential of proton pump inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors as adjunctive therapies to enhance the effectiveness of existing antifungal treatments, thereby addressing challenges related to therapeutic failures and increasing drug resistance among fungal pathogens.
- Brilhante's work also emphasizes the importance of standardizing in vitro models for studying dual-species biofilms, aiming to mimic in vivo conditions for better understanding and treatment of complex microbial interactions in infections such as oral candidiasis and dermatophyte infections.
