“…To enhance the efficacy of EOs, the combined use of different oils has been evaluated recently for potential synergistic effects. The combination of EOs with synthetic antifungals will probably result in a more effective therapy [17][18][19][20]. Shin and Lim [2] concluded that the antifungal effects of ketoconazole against Trichophyton spp.…”

Aim Establish new biocontrol practices with low persistence in the environment against dermatophyte causing mycosis. Methods Antimycotic activity of twenty-six plant-derived commercial essential oils (EOs) was evaluated against four dermatophyte keratinophilic fungi (Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes). Commercial EOs which showed the strongest mycelial growth inhibitions were selected and re-extracted in vitro from fresh plant samples. Minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and antifungal index (AI) of pure and combined extracted oils and were evaluated. All samples were collected and examined during the year of 2014. Results The results revealed that commercial EOs of Prunus armeniaca, Prunus dulcis var. amara, Olea europaea and Mentha piperita were the most potent antidermatophyte. The mixture of the extracted four oils was the strongest fungicides followed by the alternative two-oil combined extractions then pure extracted oils. MIC was at 50, 25 and 12.5 lg/disc for pure oils, two-oil combinations and four-oil mixture, respectively. Achieved values of AI were found variable. Conclusion Using of natural products like plant-derived EOs instead of chemotherapy on pathogens can be regarded as an environmental safety mode of diseases control.

“…Currently, there is a problem of microbial drug resistance and an increase of opportunistic infections due to a growth in immunocompromised population such as organ transplant recipients and HIV patients. These problems coupled with the toxicity effect of continued use of several antifungal drugs (Giordani et al, 2001) highlights the need to search for new drugs to treat opportunistic fungal infections (Fostel and Lartey, 2000). Marine organisms possess a glyocproteinaceous film which favors colonization by bacteria, fungi, diatoms, protozoa and other microorganisms (Hellio et al, 2000).…”

“…Además debemos tomar en cuenta que existe una alta citotoxicidad durante los tratamientos prolongados por diversas drogas antifúngicas (23) , por lo que el uso de medios más naturales podrían ayudar a mayor adherencia a los tratamientos, por ello se tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto sobre el crecimiento microbiológico y la velocidad de crecimiento del extracto acuoso, ácido y alcohólico de la hoja seca de coca (Erythroxylum coca var coca) en Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis y Cándida albicans in vitro.…”

RESUMENObjetivo: Evaluar el efecto del extracto acuoso, ácido y alcohólico de las hojas secas Erythroxylum coca var coca (coca) en Trichophyton rubrum (TR), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (TM), Microsporum canis (MC) y Candida albicans (CA) in vitro. Materiales y métodos: Estudio experimental, que evaluó la presencia o ausencia de crecimiento, la velocidad de crecimiento de los hongos a partir del punto de siembra comparando con su crecimiento en Agar Sabouraud (AS Conclusiones: Los extractos acuoso, ácido y alcohólico no presentan efecto sobre el crecimiento de CA y TM pero sí sobre TR y MC en extracto alcohólico. Además hubo diferencia de velocidad de crecimiento de CA, TR y TM en extractos acuoso, ácido y alcohólico comparado con AS, pero entre ellos solo TR, TM y MC presentaron diferencia con la velocidad. Conclusions:The aqueous, acidic and alcoholic extracts have no effect on the growth of CA and TM, but the alcoholic extract has effects on the growth of TR and MC. In addition, there were differences in the growth rate of CA, TR and TM in the aqueous, acidic and alcoholic extracts compared to that in SA. However only TR, TM and MC showed differences in their growth rate in the alcoholic extract.
