claimFlavonoids including quercetin and apigenin, and phenolic acids including ellagic acid and caffeic acid, impede biofilm formation in Candida species, including the drug-resistant Candida auris.
claimTerpenoids (such as Terpinen-4-ol), bioactive compounds found in Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree), are effective against the MDR microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus and Candida.
claimFlavonoids compromise the cell membranes of Candida species by increasing permeability and disrupting membrane protein functionality.
claimCandida strains can form biofilms on medical equipment, which contributes to their resistance to antifungal agents.
claimCandida species generally exist as unicellular yeasts in a symbiotic connection with their human hosts, often confined to the skin, gastrointestinal tract, reproductive organs, and mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity.
claimThe alkaloid tomatidine, found in potatoes, inhibits enzymes involved in ergosterol production in many species of Candida and Saccharomyces.
claimThe azole class of antifungals is the most frequently used treatment for Candida infections due to their cost-effectiveness, lower toxicity, and simple oral administration.
