Eradication of Candida albicans persister cell biofilm by the membranotropic peptide gH625 [PDF]
Biofilm formation poses an important clinical trouble due to resistance to antimicrobial agents; therefore, there is an urgent demand for new antibiofilm strategies that focus on the use of alternative compounds also in combination with conventional ...

Synthesis and antifungal activity of new O-alkylamidoximes
The continuous prospection for molecules that may be useful in the development of new therapeutic agents is a highly relevant issue, mainly because the launch of new drugs on the market does not accompany the emergence of new resistant microorganisms. In

Antifungal activity of some metabolites of higher fungi (Basidiomycetes) - an overview
A series of compounds of different chemical structures showing antifungal activity were isolated from higher fungi (Basidiomycetes) fruit bodies. Among the microflora against which the examined metabolites showed effective activity, there are pathogenic ...

Synthesis and antifungal activity investigation of a novel clotrimazole derivative
Azole antifungal agents disrupt fungal ergosterol synthesis that is essential for the formation of fungal cell membrane by preventing 14-α-demethylase enzyme from binding to its substrate.

Antinomic natural self-protection mechanism in long-lasting woods: a case study with three tropical species from French Guiana [PDF]
We demonstrate in this work through 3 examples that Amazonian trees may specialize longlasting woods by means of at least to different approaches. Wallaba impregnates its wood with large amounts of weakly antifungal compounds acting in synergy, while ...

Transcriptome assembly and profiling of Candida auris reveals novel insights into biofilm-mediated resistance [PDF]
Candida auris has emerged as a significant global nosocomial pathogen. This is primarily due to its antifungal resistance profile but also its capacity to form adherent biofilm communities on a range of clinically important substrates.
