Eradication of Candida auris biofilm in vitro by a polygalacturonic and caprylic acid wound ointment
Candida auris is a rapidly spreading virulent pathogen frequently resistant to multiple antifungal drugs that can form biofilms and infect wounds. Hence, there is a need for C. auris wound treatments not posing risks for developing antifungal resistance. We tested the ability of a polygalacturonic and caprylic acid ointment (PG+CAP) to rapidly eradicate C. auris biofilms within 2-hour exposures in an in vitro model. Medical-grade honey (MediHoney) wound ointment was used as a comparator. Nine different C. auris strains were tested. PG+CAP eradicated biofilms of 8 of the 9 tested strains and produced a > 5-log10 reduction of the ninth. MediHoney produced reductions ranging from 2 to 4 log10 without fully eradicating any strains. The differences between PG+CAP and MediHoney were statistically significant (p < 0.05). These results suggest that PG+CAP is a promising antimicrobial ointment warranting further in vivo study in wounds which may be colonized by C. auris biofilms.
期刊介绍:
The Journal de Mycologie Medicale / Journal of Medical Mycology (JMM) publishes in English works dealing with human and animal mycology. The subjects treated are focused in particular on clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, immunological, medical, pathological, preventive or therapeutic aspects of mycoses. Also covered are basic aspects linked primarily with morphology (electronic and photonic microscopy), physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, immunochemistry, genetics, taxonomy or phylogeny of pathogenic or opportunistic fungi and actinomycetes in humans or animals. Studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi cannot be considered without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
JMM publishes (guest) editorials, original articles, reviews (and minireviews), case reports, technical notes, letters to the editor and information. Only clinical cases with real originality (new species, new clinical present action, new geographical localization, etc.), and fully documented (identification methods, results, etc.), will be considered.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
The journal is indexed in the main international databases and is accessible worldwide through the ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey platforms.
