Atividade biológica "in vitro" do fitoconstituinte timol sobre espécies do gênero candida

Abstract: <p>Muitas das infecções oportunistas ocorrem diante de situações de imunossupressão ou alterações sistêmicas que provoquem mudanças nas características físico-químicas do hospedeiro. Alguns microrganismos assumem o comportamento de patógenos, causando manifestações infecciosas, como ocorre com as leveduras do gênero <em>Candida</em>. Atualmente, o tratamento empregado baseia-se no uso de azólicos e poliênicos, no entanto o incremento da resistência microbiana e a necessidade da descoberta de … Show more

“…Among the main alternatives that have shown promising results in tackling this problem are phytotherapy and the use of chitosan-based biomaterials. These options stand out because they are less expensive, more accessible, have a natural composition and fewer side effects [9], [11]. In this context, the association of natural products that have pharmacological properties with natural biopolymers that aim to replace and/or treat some component of the body is of substantial relevance to dentistry [25], [26].…”

“…To the detriment of the slow and continuous biodegradation of the chitosan molecule, synthetic and plant drugs can be incorporated into this biopolymer to act in the process of tissue repair, hemostasis, analgesia, as well as other properties [11]. Among the plant drugs that can be associated with biopolymers in order to enhance their effects are essential oils, which are natural, complex, liquid and volatile compounds obtained as products of the secondary metabolism of aromatic plants, which have components with numerous pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial activity [12], [13].…”

“…O uso das plantas medicinais para o tratamento e/ou cura de doenças surgiu com as descobertas das propriedades medicamentosas existentes em alguns vegetais. Desde a antiguidade essa prática está presente na humanidade e continua sendo utilizada na atualidade por meios dos ensinamentos que são transmitidos ao longo das gerações , Vieira, & Gurgel, 2017). O Brasil é o país com a maior biodiversidade do planeta, cerca de 15% a 20% da totalidade mundial.…”
