Figure Lengend Snippet: Activity of aqueous extract of leaves of S. weinmanniifolia (AES) on the growth kinetics of C. albicans ATCC 90028. MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration. 2 × MIC: two-fold the minimum inhibitory concentration. FLU: fluconazole. C+: positive control (cells in culture medium). CFU: colony forming unit. Statistically significant difference ( p < 0.05) two-way ANOVA was followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.

Article Snippet: The ratio between the IC 50 for hemolytic activity in human erythrocytes and the MIC against C. albicans (ATCC 90028 and clinical isolates) for AES indicated a high selectivity index of 512.82.

Techniques: Activity Assay, Concentration Assay, Positive Control

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of aqueous extract of leaves of S. weinmanniifolia (AES) on germ tube formation in C. albicans ATCC 90028. MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration. 2 × MIC: two-fold the minimum inhibitory concentration. FLU: fluconazole. Data are presented as means, with error bars indicating standard deviation. One-way ANOVA was performed followed by Tukey’s post hoc test, with *: p = 0.0367 (statistically significant difference) and ns: p > 0.05 (not significant).

Article Snippet: Regarding BP145 , a significant reduction in the number of CFU/ml was observed for the three strains after treatment at the MIC for 6 h, but 2 × the MIC was necessary to sustain the bactericidal effect for 24 h. Peptide BP76 was bactericidal at the MIC against E. coli ESBL 1057.1 and at 2 × MIC against A. baumannii ATCC 19,606.

Time-killing curves represent CFU counts in cultures at 0, 3, 6 and 24 h of the strains A. baumannii ATCC 19,606 (A), K. pneumoniae CG258 (B) and E. coli ESBL 1057.1 (C) in the presence of MIC (square) and 2× MIC (triangle) of peptides BP607 (white), BP145 (grey) and BP76 (black). Time-killing curves in MHBII (circles) were carried out as a control.
