Aim : The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different silver nanoparticles (SN) concentrations on the matrix composition and structure of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata biofilms. Methods and Results : Candida biofilms were developed in 6-well microtiter plates during 48 h. After, these biofilms were exposed to 13·5 or 54 μg SN ml−1 for 24 h. Then, extracellular matrices were extracted from bi...
Aim : The purpose of this work was to evaluate the size-dependent antifungal activity of different silver nanoparticles (SN) colloidal suspensions against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata mature biofilms. Methods and Results: The research presented herein used SN of three different average sizes (5, 10 and 60 nm), which were synthesized by the reduction of silver nitrate through sodium citrate and which w...
Objectives: The pathogenicity of Candida spp. has been recognized by some factors, including adhesion to host cells or inert surfaces and biofilm formation. In addition, the dispersal of biofilm cells may act as a continuous source of infection. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the adhesion capacity of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata cells recovered from Candida biofilms treated with silver nan...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles (SN) against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata adhered cells and biofilms. SN (average diameter 5 nm) were synthesized by silver nitrate reduction with sodium citrate and stabilized with ammonia. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests were performed for C. albicans (n = 2) and C. glabrata (n = 2) grown in suspension following the...
Objectives: Fungal infections in immunocompromised patients have been contributing to the increasing morbidity and mortality of these patients, especially associated to yeast resistance to antifungal therapy. The increase in antibiotic-resistant microorganisms has prompted interest in the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal efficacy of silver nanop...

Após várias décadas de busca de alternativas para controle do arroz-vermelho, desenvolveram-se genótipos de arroz tolerantes a herbicida do grupo químico das imidazolinonas, o qual controla eficientemente esta planta daninha no Sistema Clearfield. O experimento teve como objetivo avaliar: a eficiência do controle de arroz-vermelho com a mistura formulada dos herbicidas imazethapyr (75 g L-1) + imazapic (25 g L-...
