AB STRACT:This study aimed to de ter mine the oc cur rence of Candida spp. in the oral cav ity of pre dom i nantly breast fed in fants and in their moth ers' mouths and breasts, as well as in the oral cav ity of bottlefed in fants and in non-lac tat ing women. One hun dred and sixty nine women and eighty-five milk-fed in fants took part in this study and were di vided into four groups: 1) in fants pre dom i nantly on breast feed ing (n = 55) and their moth ers (n = 55); 2) in fants on bottlefeeding (n = 30); 3) non-lac tat ing women on whom oral col lec tions were per formed (n = 80) and, 4) non-lac tat ing women on whom breast col lec tions were per formed (n = 34). Oral and mam mary swabs were cul tured on Sabouraud agar dex trose with chloramphenicol. The Candida yeast strains found were iso lated and iden ti fied through mor pho logi cal and bio chem i cal tests. Candida spe cies were much less fre quent in in fants who were pre dom i nantly breast fed than in those who were bottlefed. Yeasts were much more fre quent on the breasts of lac tat ing women, with sta tis ti cal dif fer ence in re la tion to the con trol group.

“…1 The adherence of yeast to oral epithelial cells is influenced by yeast-related factors such as the expression of adhesion proteins, the presence of germinative tubes, and the production of extracellular polymers and enzymes. Host-related factors such as sexual hormones, the presence of fibrin and fibrinogen, 2 and salivary compounds including mucine, 3 salivary proteins, 4 and secretory IgA 5 may also influence this process. The effects of these components on the adherence of C. albicans differ, as some of them increase the adhesion capacity whereas others show inhibitory activity.…”

“…Several factors, such as adhesion to host tissue, morphological characteristics, germ tube formation, contact perception, phenotypic change, synergism with bacteria, production of hydrolases or other metabolites, and production of extracellular enzymes were proposed as virulence factors of C. albicans (Odds, 1988;Olsen 1990;Bendel, 2003). Adherence of yeast to host mucosal surfaces is a prerequisite for colonization and infection (Olsen, 1990;Bendel, 2003).…”

“…Adherence of yeast to host mucosal surfaces is a prerequisite for colonization and infection (Olsen, 1990;Bendel, 2003). Mucous host surfaces serve as a reservoir for the spread of infections, such as gastrointestinal infection, especially in immunecompromised patients (Nikawa et al, 2006).…”

Faced with increasing cases of antimicrobial resistance, new compounds from natural products have been scientifically investigated for their antibacterial and antifungalaction. Ethnopharmacological studies have shown that many plants extracts have been a source of new bioactive compounds acting against several types of diseases, attracting attention to researchers, aimed at their application in medicine. Studies were carried out with extracts from Punica granatum L. and its compounds have showed antioxidant, and antiinflammatory effects for the treatment of oral diseases, skin diseases, diarrhea, helminth infections, microbial infections and respiratory diseases among others. Its antimicrobial activity has been investigated recently, and may be present in various parts of the plant such as flowers, leaves, stems and bark. It was found high activity of the P. granatum methanolic extracts against strains of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and other species. Candida yeast is an opportunistic pathogen and its virulence factors may contribute to its invasion and pathogenicity. These considerations served as a basis of the studies carried out in this review work, aiming to evaluate the use of extracts obtained from different parts of the P. granatum L. fruits as antimicrobial agents, associated to researches of components with bioactive potential present in these structures, determined by mass spectrometry.
