Journal ArticleDOI

Cidália Pina-Vaz,A. Gonçalves Rodrigues,Eugénia Pinto,Sofia Costa-de-Oliveira,Cristina Azevedo Tavares,Lígia Salgueiro,Carlos Cavaleiro,Maria José Gonçalves,José Martinez-de-Oliveira +8 more
TL;DR: The potent antifungal activity of the essential oils of Thymus on Candida spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal activity of the essential oil of Thymus pulegioides on Candida, Aspergillus and dermatophyte species.
Eugénia Pinto,Cidália Pina-Vaz,Lígia Salgueiro,Maria José Gonçalves,Sofia Costa-de-Oliveira,Carlos Cavaleiro,Ana Palmeira,Acácio G. Rodrigues,José Martinez-de-Oliveira +8 more
TL;DR: The present study indicates that T. pulegioides essential oil has considerable antifungal activity, deserving further investigation for clinical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion, biofilm formation, cell surface hydrophobicity, and antifungal planktonic susceptibility: relationship among Candida spp.
Ana Silva-Dias,Isabel M. Miranda,Joana Branco,Matilde Monteiro-Soares,Cidália Pina-Vaz,Acácio G. Rodrigues +5 more
TL;DR: CSH seemed to be a good predictor for biofilm formation but not for adhesion, and despite the marked variability registered intra and inter species, C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis were the species exhibiting high adhesion profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, Distribution, and Antifungal Susceptibility Profiles of Candida parapsilosis, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Ana Elisa Bauer de Camargo Silva,Isabel M. Miranda,Carmen Lisboa,Cidália Pina-Vaz,Acácio G. Rodrigues +4 more
TL;DR: Evaluation of the antifungal susceptibility profile showed that only nine C. parapsilosis sensu stricto strains were susceptible-dose dependent or resistant to fluconazole, and a single strain displayed a multiazole-resistant phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Microsatellite Multiplex PCR for Candida albicans Strain Typing Reveals Microevolutionary Changes
Paula Sampaio,Leonor Gusmão,Alexandra Correia,Cíntia Alves,Acácio G. Rodrigues,Cidália Pina-Vaz,António Amorim,Célia Pais +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the microevolutionary changes between isolates from recurrent infections indicated that the genotype alterations observed could be the result of events that lead to the loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and this could be related to exposure to fluconazole, since such strains were exposed to this antifungal during treatment.
