To study the and anticandidal activity of nanocapsulated bovine lactoferrin.
MATERIALS & METHODS: and antimicrobial activities were conducted to study the anticandidal activities of nanocapsules (NCs).
The NCs showed good anticandidal activities. The disruption of cell wall and cell membrane was noted via microscopy studies. The NCs changed the normal growth profile of . NCs reduced the colony forming unit in kidney and blood samples. Histopathological examination showed better cell structure and coordination compared with untreated mice kidney. NCs also enhanced the natural killing properties of by epithelial cells.
NCs have effective anticandidal properties and have the potential as a therapeutic agent against candidiasis.
研究纳米胶囊化牛乳铁蛋白的抗念珠菌活性。
进行抗菌活性研究以探讨纳米胶囊(NCs)的抗念珠菌活性。
NCs显示出良好的抗念珠菌活性。通过显微镜研究观察到细胞壁和细胞膜的破坏。NCs改变了白色念珠菌的正常生长模式。NCs降低了肾脏和血液样本中的菌落形成单位。组织病理学检查显示,与未治疗小鼠的肾脏相比,细胞结构和协调性更好。NCs还增强了上皮细胞对白色念珠菌的自然杀伤特性。
NCs具有有效的抗念珠菌特性,有潜力作为治疗念珠菌病的药物。
