Introduction.Candida spp. are commensal fungal pathogens of humans, but when there is an imbalance in the microbiota, or weak host immunity, these yeasts can become pathogenic, generating high medical costs.Gap Statement. With the increase in resistance to conventional antifungals, the development of new therapeutic strategies is necessary. This study evaluated the in vitro antifungal activity of chlorogenic acid against fluconazole-resistant strains of Candida spp. Mechanism of action through flow ...

In recent decades, the incidence of candidemia in tertiary hospitals worldwide has substantially increased. These infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality; in addition, they prolong hospital stays and raise the costs associated with treatment. Studies have reported a significant increase in infections by non-albicans Candida species, especially C. tropicalis. The number of antifungal drugs on the market is small in comparison to the number of antibacterial agents available. The limited ...

No carcinogenesis or mutagenesis studies have been carried out with etomidate. The current study showed that etomidate has weak cytotoxic potential after 48 h exposure in human lymphocytes and has no hemolytic activity. The weak cytotoxicity seems to be related with redox imbalance of etomidate (40.9 and 81.9 μM) treated lymphocytes. At both etomidate concentrations, a slight decrease of the levels of GSH intracellular content and a significant increase in the amount of carbonylated proteins were ...
