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...
Aeromonas and Plesiomonas species from scarlet ibis ( Eudocimus ruber ) and the...
Castelo-Branco, Débora Souza Collares Maia; Silva, Aline Lobão da; Monteiro, Frederico Ozanan Barros; Guedes, Glaucia Morgana de MeloThe present study aimed at evaluating the role of captive scarlet ibises (Eudocimus ruber) and their environment as reservoirs of Aeromonas spp. and Plesiomonas spp., and analyzing the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence of the recovered bacterial isolates. Thus, non-lactose and weak-lactose fermenting, oxidase positive Gram-negative bacilli were recovered from cloacal samples (n = 30) of scarle...
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...
Cross-resistance to fluconazole induced by exposure to the agricultural azole t...
Rocha, Marcos Fabio Gadelha; Alencar, Lucas Pereira de; Araújo Neto, Manoel Paiva de; Melo, Luciana Magalhães; Bandeira, Silviane Praciano; Ponte, Y. B.This study aimed to investigate the influence of tetraconazole and malathion, both used in agricultural activities, on resistance to fluconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole in Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019. The susceptibility to tetraconazole, malathion, fluconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole, through broth microdilution. Then, 12 independent replicates, were separated and exposed to four treatment gro...
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...
