is an important zoonotic fungus that causes dermatophytosis in domestic animals and their owners. Domestic cats are the primary reservoir for . Antifungal drugs frequently produce adverse effects on the host animal, increasing the demand for novel alternative treatments derived from nature. We evaluated the antifungal activity of essential oil (CEO) and ethanolic extracts (CEE) against in planktonic and biofilm growth. Twelve clinical isolates of were identified in feline dermatophyte samples. Using GC-MS, 18 compounds were identified in CEO, with carvacrol being the major constituent. HPLC analysis of CEE revealed that it contained rosmarinic acid, apigenin, and caffeic acid. The planktonic growth of all isolates was inhibited by extracts. The minimum inhibitory concentration at which ≥50% of the isolates were inhibited (MIC) was 128 µg/mL (32-256 µg/mL) for both CEO and CEE. The MIC values of CEO and CEE were 128 and 256 µg/mL, respectively. CEO at MIC (128 µg/mL) and 2× MIC (256 µg/mL) significantly inhibited the biofilm formation of weak, moderate, and strong biofilm-producing . CEE at 2× MIC (256 µg/mL) significantly inhibited the biofilm formation of all isolates. Overall, extracts inhibited planktonic growth and exhibited a significant antibiofilm effect against . Thus, is a potential source of natural antifungal compounds.
是一种重要的人畜共患真菌,可导致家畜及其主人患皮肤癣菌病。家猫是其主要储存宿主。抗真菌药物经常对宿主动物产生不良反应,这增加了对源自天然的新型替代疗法的需求。我们评估了香芹酚精油(CEO)和乙醇提取物(CEE)对浮游和生物膜生长状态下的抗真菌活性。在猫皮肤癣菌样本中鉴定出12株临床分离株。通过气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)分析,在CEO中鉴定出18种化合物,其中香芹酚为主要成分。对CEE的高效液相色谱(HPLC)分析表明,它含有迷迭香酸、芹菜素和咖啡酸。两种提取物均抑制了所有分离株的浮游生长。对于CEO和CEE,≥50%的分离株被抑制时的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)为128µg/mL(32 - 256µg/mL)。CEO和CEE的MIC值分别为128和256µg/mL。MIC(128µg/mL)和2×MIC(256µg/mL)的CEO显著抑制了弱、中、强生物膜形成型的生物膜形成。2×MIC(256µg/mL)的CEE显著抑制了所有分离株的生物膜形成。总体而言,提取物抑制了浮游生长,并对表现出显著的抗生物膜作用。因此,是天然抗真菌化合物的潜在来源。
