Comparación in vitro de la acción fungicida de solución saturada de azúcar y nitrato de econazol
Keywords:
Fungicida, Nitrato de econazol, Solución saturada de sacarosa, Candida albicansAbstract
En investigaciones previas realizadas in vitro con solución saturada de sacarosa, eugenol y polietilenglicol 400 secomprobó su eficacia fungicida sobre Candida albicans.Se comparó en las mismas condiciones el efecto fungicida con nitrato de econazol. Una suspensión de Candidaalbicans con nitrato de econazol se repicó en Agar Sabouraud 20 a distintos tiempos para demostrar la viabilidadde la cepa.El tiempo promedio de muerte de Candida albicans en la solución saturada de sacarosa fue de 300 segundos, ennitrato de econazol fue de pocos segundos.Aunque existen diferencias significativas en el tiempo de muerte de la cepa ensayada, la solución saturada desacarosa sería una contribución terapéutica alternativa, en aquellos pacientes con lesiones cutáneas crónicas que noresponden a los tratamientos tradicionales.Downloads
