“…Research concerning the antifungal effect of O. vulgare EO by Cleff et al . () showed results that are comparable to the results of this study in terms of the antifungal effect of oregano EO. The MIC/MFC concentrations of their tested EO ranged from 1·2 to 10 μ l ml −1 , which is in accordance with the MIC/MFC values of analysed oregano EO that ranged from 2·2 to 4·5 μ l ml −1 .…”

“…Only clinical isolates from vaginal mucosal membrane were used in our study, and they showed a similar pattern of resistance to oregano EO as the isolates that were investigated in similar research, among which the most resistant strains were isolates from animal mucosal membranes in comparison with skin and reference ATCC strains (Cleff et al . ).…”

“…Among the natural products with potential to be used as growth promoters is oregano, Origanum sp. (Fukayama et al ), because of its antibacterial (Sivropoulou et al ; Burt and Reinders ; Souza et al ; Oliveira et al ), antifungal (Sartoratto et al ; Cleff et al ), antioxidant (Simitzis et al ; Zheng et al ), anti‐inflammatory (Azuma et al ; Ocaña‐Fuentes et al ), antihelminthic (Force et al ) and digestive properties (Hernández et al ; Platel and Srinivasan ). These properties are attributed to the presence of phenolic carvacrol and thymol and monoterpenes γ‐terpinene and ρ‐cymene (Bampidis et al ; Zheng et al ), among others.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of oregano oil as a growth promoter for the yellowtail tetra, Astyanax altiparanae. The fish (1.46 ± 0.09 g) were distributed into twenty‐four 60‐L aquaria at a stocking density of 0.5 fish/L. Six isonitrogenous (350 g crude protein/kg) and isocaloric (4272 kcal gross energy/kg) diets containing 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 g/kg of oregano oil were evaluated. At the end of 90 d there was a quadratic effect of oregano oil levels for weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and carcass weight, and the estimated values to maximize these variables were between 0.2 and 0.6 g/kg. There was also a quadratic effect on the feed conversion ratio, and the estimated value to improve this variable was 0.62 g/kg. A positive linear effect of the treatments was observed for muscle glycogen. With increased levels of oregano oil in the diet, there was a reduction in dry matter and ether extract and an increase in the protein content of the carcass. Thus, it can be concluded that oregano oil, at the level of 0.5 g/kg, acts as a growth promoter for A. altiparanae by improving growth performance and carcass composition.

“…Nesse contexto, extratos vegetais com ação in vitro antimicrobiana comprovada, se destacando o óleo essencial do orégano (Origanum vulgare), já demonstraram ação antifúngica frente a espécies de Candida (CLEFF et al, 2010a) e Malassezia pachydermatis (PRESTES et al, 2008). A boa atividade in vitro frente a espécies do complexo Sporothrix schenckii também foi avaliada em diferentes estudos (CLEFF et al, 2010b;WALLER et al, 2016a;WALLER et al, 2016b;WALLER et al, 2017a;WALLER et al, 2018).…”

RESUMOesporotricose é considerada uma micose emergente de importância para a saúde pública, especialmente devido aos frequentes relatos zoonóticos envolvendo o felino doméstico. São crescentes as casuísticas animal e humana da micose, assim como os relatos de casos refratários à terapia convencional, principalmente nos casos de esporotricose felina. Nesse sentido, o trabalho descreve e discute as opções terapêuticas mais utilizadas, além de citar alternativas disponíveis para o tratamento da micose. Os resultados indicam ser o itraconazol o fármaco de primeira escolha, especialmente nos felinos domésticos, tendo o iodeto de potássio, terbinafina e cetoconazol como alternativas de tratamento. O estudo ressalta o uso da anfotericina B nos casos resistentes, assim como descreve as intervenções cirúrgicas e a termoterapia nos casos de falha terapêutica e quando as lesões eram localizadas. Com esses resultados o estudo conclui que dentre as terapias utilizadas para a esporotricose nos animais, o itraconazol mesmo com os crescentes relatos de falhas terapêuticas, permanece sendo o fármaco de primeira escolha, especialmente nos casos da micose em felinos. As demais opções são utilizadas nos casos mais graves da micose ou em situações em que o itraconazol não se mostra efetivo frente ao agente. Palavras
