The effect of gentian violet against Candida albicans and non-Candida albicans biofilms formed on polymethylmethacrylate strips was evaluated using a dry weight assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The ability of gentian violet to inhibit Candida albicans germination was also assessed. Gentian violet activity against Candida biofilms was demonstrated by a reduction in dry weight, disruption of biofilm architecture, and reduced biofilm thickness. Additionally, gentian violet inhibited Candida germination in a concentration-dependent manner.
采用干重分析法和共聚焦激光扫描显微镜评估了龙胆紫对聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯条上形成的白色念珠菌和非白色念珠菌生物膜的作用。还评估了龙胆紫抑制白色念珠菌发芽的能力。龙胆紫对白色念珠菌生物膜的活性表现为干重减少、生物膜结构破坏和生物膜厚度降低。此外,龙胆紫以浓度依赖的方式抑制了白色念珠菌的发芽。
