The present work aims to evaluate the antifungal and immunomodulatory effects of gold nanoparticles and iron nanoparticles (Np) associated with natural polyphenols (curcumin, gallic acid or resveratrol) against Candida albicans, using in vitro and in vivo study models. For this, the project will be distributed in eight stages: 1) Evaluation of the antifungal effects of Np associated with …
The objective of this study will be isolate and identify strains of Lactobacillus spp. from the oral cavity of individuals caries free and to evaluate their probiotic action in Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans by in vitro and in vivo studies. Saliva samples will be collected and identified by the API50CHL system and confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Thirty strains ide…
The interactions between fungi and bacteria are present in the nature and has great environmental and medical importance. The development of in vitro and in vivo models to characterize these interactions is essential for the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and the discovery of new therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study is to assess the microbial interactions betwee…
Whereas the high incidence of lesions of candidosis in immunocompromised patients and the emergence of non-albicans Candida species, which are often isolated in association with C. albicans in mixed infections, it becomes necessary to develop in vivo models in order to characterize the interactions among Candida species. This study will evaluate in vivo interactions between different Cand…

Cutaneous infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Candida albicans represent a major challenge in the hospital environment due to the development of strains resistant to antibiotics and antifungals. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) can be an alternative treatment for these infections; however, in vivo study models are restricted to vertebrate anim…
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising technique that can be used to control Streptococcus mutans. However, it has been necessary to identify photosensitizers with greater effectiveness against S. mutans and to understand how PDT acts on biofilms formed by these microorganisms. In this context, the objective will be to study the Fotoenticine® (FTC) activity in photodynamic therapy agai…
Microcosm biofilms can mimic the biofilms of the oral cavity, being an important study tool in the investigation of therapeutic strategies for dental caries. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is considered a promising alternative for the treatment of this disease, however there is a need for more effective photosensitizers against dental biofilm. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to…

Currently, treatment options for fungal infections are limited due to the low availability of antifungal drugs and the rising of drug resistant strains. Thus, the development of new antifungal compounds and new therapeutic approaches are in great need for the control of these infections. The caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), caffeic acid (CA) and artepillin C (ARTC), compounds of propo…
In the last years, conventional antifungal screening strategies have failed to yield new classes of effective antimicrobials. New paradigms for discovering novel antimicrobial agents are needed. Ideally, new agents should be effective against persisters cells, the subpopulation of fungal cells that show tolerance to conventional drugs. This is clinically important because persister cells …
In vivo studies are fundamental to the study of microbial interactions of pathogenic microorganisms, and discovery of new antimicrobial agents. An animal model should reproduce the corresponding pathogenesis of infection in humans, including colonization and invasion from a specific route of entry and interaction with the host immune system. The aim of this study is to evaluate in vivo pr…
