Research advances on the multiple uses of Moringa oleifera : a sustainable alte...
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Sales, Jamille Alencar; Pereira, Vandbergue Santos; Castelo-Branco, Débora de Souza Collares MaiaMoringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) is a plant with high nutritional and medicinal value. Native to India, it is now widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Its different parts are sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals and present different pharmacological and biotechnological potential. Moreover, M. oleifera seeds are widely used in water and effluent treatment, for the...
Azole resistance in Candida albicans from animals: Highlights on efflux pump ac...
Rocha, Marcos Fábio Gadelha; Bandeira, Silviane Praciano; Alencar, Lucas Pereira de; Melo, Luciana Magalhães; Sales, Jamille AlencarThis study investigated potential mechanisms of azole resistance among Candida albicans from animals, including efflux pump activity, ergosterol content and gene expression. For this purpose, 30 azole-resistant C. albicans strains from animals were tested for their antifungal susceptibility, according to document M27-A3, efflux pump activity by rhodamine 6G test, ergosterol content and expression of the genes C...
Enterobacteria and Vibrio from Macrobrachium amazonicum prawn farming in Fortal...
Castelo-Branco, D ebora de Souza Collares Maia; Sales, Jamille Alencar; Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloObjective: To investigate the isolation of enterobacteria associated with Macrobrachium amazonicum (M. amazonicum) farming and evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Vibrio strains. Methods: Strains were isolated from female M. amazonicum prawns and environmental and hatchery water. Biochemical assays were used to identify bacterial genera and those belonging to the genus Vibrio were submitted to...
Vibrio spp. from Macrobrachium amazonicum prawn farming are inhibited by Moring...
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Sales, Jamille Alencar; Sampaio, Celia Maria de Souza; Barbosa, Francisco Geraldo; Paiva, Manoel de Araújo NetoObjective To investigate the in vitro antimicrobial potential of extracts of stem, leaves, flowers, pods and seeds of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) against Vibrio spp. from hatchery water and the prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum. Methods The ethanol extracts of stem, leaves, pods and seeds and chloroform extract of flowers of M. oleifera were tested against Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) serogroups non-O1/non-O13...
Detection of Candida species resistant to azoles in the microbiota of rheas (Rh...
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Alencar, Lucas Pereira de; Cordeiro, Rossana de Aguiar; Castelo-Branco, Débora de Souza Collares MaiaThere is growing interest in breeding rheas (Rhea americana) in Brazil. However, there are no data on the yeast microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract of this avian species, and the phenotypic characteristics of these yeasts are not known. Therefore, the aim of this work was to isolate Candida species from the digestive tract of rheas and to evaluate the in vitro antifungal susceptibility and secretion of pho...
Yeast microbiota of raptors : a possible tool for environmental monitoring
Brilhante, Raimunda S. N.; Castelo Branco, Débora S. C. M.; Duarte, Guilherme P. S.; Paiva, Manoel de Araújo Neto; Monteiro, André J.Twenty-two raptors from a rehabilitation centre were evaluated for the presence of yeasts prior to returning them to the wild, and the recovered Candida isolates were tested for in vitro antifungal susceptibility and phospholipase production. Samples were collected from the crop/lower esophagus and cloaca. In vitro antifungal susceptibility and phospholipase production of 21 Candida strains were assessed throug...
Yeasts from Macrobrachium amazonicum : a focus on antifungal susceptibilityand ...
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Paiva, Manoel de Araújo Neto; Sampaio, Célia M.S.; Teixeira, Carlos Eduardo CordeiroIn the present study, it was sought to compare yeast microbiota of wild and captive Macrobrachium amazonicum and evaluate the antifungal susceptibility and production of virulence factors by the recovered isolates of Candida spp. Additionally, cultivation water was monitored for the presence of fungi. Overall, 26 yeast isolates belonging to three genera and seven species were obtained, out of which 24 were Cand...
Extratos de Moringa oleifera e Vernonia sp. sobre Candida albicans e Microsporu...
Rocha, Marcos Fábio Gadelha; Aguiar, Franscisco Léo Nascimento de; Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Cordeiro, Rossana de AguiarThe increase in the incidence of fungal infections and the frequent report of resistance and therapeutic failure has promoted the performance of phytochemical screening for compounds with antifungal properties. Based on this, the present study investigated the antifungal potential of extracts of Baccharis ligustrina, B. schultzii, Croton jacobinensis, Licania rigida, Moringa oleifera, Vernonia sp. and V. brasil...
