Item Efeito antimicrobiano de óleos essenciais sobre enterococcus faecalis(Universidade Brasil, 2024) Souto, Eliane Nogueira de Souza; Andreani Jr., Roberto; Navarrete, Acácio Aparecido; Fernandes, Karina CamaraIn the present research, the antimicrobial activity of essential oils against the standard strain of Enterococcus faecalis was evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentration and the minimum bactericidal concentration of rosemary, lemongrass, oregano, and rosehip oils were determined. Additionally, the percentage reduction of colony-forming units in relation to different oil concentrations and exposure times was analyzed. With rosemary and oregano oils showing antibacterial activity at lower concentrations to inhibit bacterial growth (12.5% and 3.2%, respectively). It was found that these oils, along with lemongrass and rosehip oils, exhibited antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis, both at a concentration of 25%. It was observed that the nullification of colony-forming unit counts was achieved in 120 minutes for rosemary oil at 12.5% and in 60 minutes for oregano oil, 180 minutes for lemongrass oil, and 210 minutes for rosehip oil. These results indicate the possibility of using essential oils in antibacterial therapy against infections caused by E. faecalis.Item Avaliação da eficácia de óleos vegetais in natura e ozonizados no controle de cândida spp.(Universidade Brasil, 2022) Gimenez, Vanessa Barbosa; Kozusny-Andreani, Dora InésCandida spp, is a pathogen associated with health, causes superficial or invasive infections with a high mortality rate. The pathogenicity is attributed to virulence factors such as adhesion, proteinases, phospholipases, and hemolysins. The emergence of strains resistant to conventional treatments, highlights the need to obtain highly effective drugs that do not generate microbial resistance, among which, ozonized vegetable oils have gained prominence for their wide range of antimicrobial effect, are effective in antifungal therapies, antibacterial and antiviral. In this context, the objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of ozonated and in natura vegetable oils in the in vitro inactivation of Candida albicans ATCC 25923 and Candida tropicalis ATCC 4563. To analyze the antifungal activity, vegetable oils of coconut, palm oil, sunflower, olive and pequi, all fresh and ozonized in concentrations ranging from 0.32% to 100%. The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined by the plate microdilution method, and then the minimum fungicidal concentration and the fungicidal kinetics of the oils were verified. The results showed that the vegetable oils of sunflower, coconut, palm oil, pequi and olive, in natura and ozonized, inactivated Candida tropicalis and C. albicans, however the in natura oils of palm, sunflower and coconut presented minimum inhibitory and fungicidal concentrations higher than those of ozonized oils, while those of olive and pequi did not show differences. Regarding the ability to reduce colony-forming units as a function of time, it was found that olive and pequi oils, ozonated and in natura, were more effective. Based on the results, the vegetable oils indicate the possibility of using them in the therapy of Candida spp.Item Efeito fungicida de óleos essenciais no controle da antracnose em pós-colheita de frutos de mamão = fungicidal effect of essential oils in controlling anthracnose in papaya fruit postharvest(Universidade Brasil, 2016) Barufi, Rafael Fontana; Kozusny-Andreani, Dora Inés; Andreani Junior, RobertoItem Eficácia de plantas medicinais no controle in vitro de Acinetobacter baumannii = medicinal plant efficiency in vitro control the Acinetobacter baumannii(Universidade Brasil, 2016) Andrade, Glaucimeire Rodrigues de; Kozusny-Andreani, Dora InêsItem Óleos essenciais no controle de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides = essential oils in control of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides(Universidade Camilo Castelo Branco, 2014) Ramos, Kelys; Kozusny-Andreani, Dora Inés; Andreani Junior, RobertoItem Efeito de óleos essenciais in natura e ozonizados sobre o desenvolvimento de fungos patogênicos(Universidade Brasil, 2020) Kume, Joelma Évelin Pereira; Kozusny-Andreani, Dora InésSome species of fungi are capable of causing mycotic infections. One of these infections is dermatophytosis, caused by a group of fungi, called dermatophytes. another infection is sporotrichosis, caused by species of Prothorax schenckii. The treatment of the disease is carried out using conventional antifungals. The emergence of resistant strains has led to alternative treatments, such as natural medicines or the use of ozone gas. The objective of this research was to evaluate the antifungal activity of fresh and ozonated essential oils against Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, and Sporothrix schenckii. In natura and ozonized essential oils of Cinnamomum cassia, Eugenia Caryphollata, Cymbopogon winterianus, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus staigeriana and Mentha piperita were used, evaluated for antifungal activity against the microorganism lineage. The oils were ozonized in corona equipment. The microdilution technique was used to assess the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC). The fungicidal kinetics of essential oils were determined. The data obtained were evaluated by the Mann-Whitney test and by the east of Kruskal-Wallis. The fungus T. mentagrophytes was more resistant. T. rubrum showed less resistance to treatments, showing decreases in microbial count in the first moments of exposure. The Spothrix fungus showed greater resistance to cinnamon, clove and Eucalyptus staigeriana oils, showing a decrease in microbial count variation. In general, the results show the possibility of use in antifungal therapy against the studied microorganisms.Item Eficácia de extratos de plantas medicinais no controle de micro-organismos isolados de ambientes de creche = Efficacy medicinal plants extracts in the control of isolate microorganisms from child care environments(Universidade Camilo Castelo Branco, 2013) Mendes, Elena Carla Batista; Kozusny-Andreani, Dora InêsItem Avaliação in vitro de óleos essenciais de Copaíba, Buriti e Tucumã frente ao Sthapylococcus aureus(Universidade Brasil, 2017) Rezende, Aline Alves; Melo, Gabriel Maurício Peruca de; Bertipaglia, Liandra Maria Abaker
