Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The activity of usnic acid against Candida orthopsilosis and C. parapsilosis on planktonic and biofilm conditions was investigated by using a broth microdilution and microplate methods. Potent in vitro activities against different Candida species were obtained. The metabolic activity of sessile cells of C. parapsilosis complex was reduced by 80% at four times itself 80% inhibitory concentration. The in vitro studies support further efforts to determine if usnic acid can be used clinically to cure patients with Candida infections. |
