Avaliação da atividade sinérgica entre miconazol e nanopartículas de prata produzidas por síntese verde contra cepas de Candida parapsilosis

Abstract

The study of nanoparticles on biological activity of microorganisms is becoming more popular and important as there is the emergence of resistance as well as the ineffectiveness of some antimicrobials against these microorganisms. In particular, the silver nanoparticles gained expansion in the new field of nanomedicine through their development and incorporation into a range of products and technologies. Candidemia and candidiasis are among the most common infections and which have significant morbidity and mortality. The candidemia corresponds to bloodstream infection and candidiasis refers to infection with Candida yeasts in any body site. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of synergy silver nanoparticles (AgNP) with the antifungal azole class of imidazole, Miconazole, against strains of Candida parapsilosis. The green AgNP were synthesized via synthesis with varying the concentration of the stabilizer, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 0,5g; 0,25g and 0,1g. The AgNP were characterized by spectroscopy UV / visible, infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, light scattering and scanning electron microscopy with microanalysis. In assessing the synergistic activity were used 50 strains of Candida parapsilosis. The AgNP with 0,5g of SDS reached an average size of 77,58 nm and zeta potential of -49,2 while NPAg with 0,25 g of SDS reached an average size of 91,22 nm and zeta potential of -47,2. No stabilization AgNP with 0,1g SDS. The AgNP-G-SDS showed high antifungal activity when combined with Miconazole.
