Synergistic potential of Bauhinia holophylla leaf extracts with conventional antifungals in the inhibition of Candida albicans: A new approach for the treatment of oral candidiasis.

Objective: This study investigated the combination of Bauhinia holophylla (Bong.) Steud. leaf extracts with conventional antifungal agents, highlighting the extracts' potential as adjuvants in treating oral candidiasis.

Candida species contamination in drinking groundwater from residence wells in three municipalities of midwestern Brazil and the potential human health risks.

Groundwater represents one of the largest safe drinking water sources worldwide; however, it has been threatened by increased human activities in recent years. Candida species express virulence factors that contribute to the establishment and worsening of infections, although little is known about the virulence profiles of these species in potable groundwater. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of yeasts in groundwater from residential wells and to evaluate the antifungal susceptibility profile, hydrolytic enzyme production, adhesion capacity, and biofilm formation of Candida spp.

Synthesis, structural characterization, and prospects for new cobalt (II) complexes with thiocarbamoyl-pyrazoline ligands as promising antifungal agents.

Candida spp. cause invasive fungal infections. One species, Candida glabrata, may present intrinsic resistance to conventional antifungal agents, thereby increasing mortality rates in hospitalized patients.

Control of Biofilms by an Ethanolic Extract of (Schrank) Pilger Leaves.

is an etiologic agent of cryptococcosis and a serious disease that affects immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients worldwide. The therapeutic arsenal used to treat cryptococcosis is limited to a few antifungal agents, and the ability of to form biofilms may hinder treatment and decrease its susceptibility to antifungal agents. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal and antibiofilm activities of an ethanolic extract of (Schrank) Pilger leaves against .
