Antimicrobial Effectiveness01:28

Antimicrobial Effectiveness

155
The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents depends on various factors influencing their ability to eliminate microbial populations. Larger microbial populations require more time for complete eradication, emphasizing the importance of population size analysis when evaluating antimicrobial efficacy.Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents varies significantly. Highly resilient microorganisms include endospores, gram-negative bacteria, and non-enveloped viruses, while prions are exceptionally...

Combined Effects of Drugs: Synergism

4.7K
Synergism is a useful mechanism where combining two or more drugs is more effective than each constituent used alone. Such combinations are also called supra-additive interactions. The drugs collectively enhance the final therapeutic effect by acting on different targets. Another advantage is that the low dose of each constituent drug is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. This helps reduce the duration of therapy and lower the adverse effects of these drugs.
Such synergistic combinations...

Area of Science:

  • Oral medicine
  • Mycology
  • Pharmacognosy

Background:

  • Fungal infections in the oral cavity are a growing health concern.
  • Imbalances in oral microbiota contribute to fungal propagation.
  • Conventional antifungal treatments have led to increased antifungal resistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate phytotherapy resources as a potential solution for oral antifungal resistance.
  • To describe natural species with active principles that may combat resistant oral fungi.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive bibliographic search was conducted.
  • Databases used included PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
  • 108 out of 248 retrieved articles met the inclusion criteria.

Main Results:

  • Fungal microorganisms exhibit resistance to conventional antifungal agents.
  • This resistance significantly impacts human oral health.
  • Natural species offer new therapeutic possibilities through their active principles.

Conclusions:

  • Phytotherapy presents a viable alternative for addressing oral antifungal resistance.
  • Further research into plant-derived compounds is warranted for novel oral antifungal strategies.
