The consumption of minimally processed vegetables has been growing due to consumer demand for products easy to prepare. As it is extremely manipulated, this product can be contaminated with spoilage organisms such as yeasts, that have the ability to decrease the shelf life of food. In this sense, seeking to concerns about the resistance of microorganisms to sanitation methods for food industries and given the need for more studies of the antimicrobial power of ozone, this study aimed to isolate and identify the yeasts present in minimally processed vegetables, and check their antimicrobial resistance to sodium hypochlorite and ozone. 84 samples of minimally processed vegetables were collected. From them, 47 yeast cultures were isolated and submitted for identification and testing of resistance to sodium hypochlorite sanitizers (50, 100, 200 and 400 ppm) and ozone (0.25 and 0.5 ppm). From the total yeast isolated, 85.1% corresponds to Cryptococcus laurentii, 12.8% to Arxula adeninivorans and 2.1% to Debaryomyces hansenii var. fabryii. All of them were resistant to the sanitizers sodium hypochlorite and ozone at all concentrations tested. Given these observations, some actions must be taken during processing to avoid contamination with deteriorative microbiota.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of alcohol-free mouthwashes on Candida albicans. Twenty clinical isolates of C. albicans and one reference strain (ATCC 18804) were evaluated after exposure to two 0.12% chlorhexidine-based and alcohol-free (“Ca” and “Or”) in comparison to gluconate chlorhexidine with ethanol (positive control). The maximum inhibitory dilution (MID) and maximum fugal dilution (MFD) were determined by the microdilution method. Twelve serial dilutions (from 50 to 0.02%) were prepared in duplicate. Then, 100 µL of C. albicans suspension (106 cells.mL–1) were added to the wells. After incubation (37 °C/24 hours), MID was determined by reading the optical density. For MFD determination, the content of the wells were plated on Saouraud agar. For MID, there were no differences between groups Or and control, but Ca group showed a MID statistically higher (Kruskal-Wallis, p = 0.0012). For MFD, there were no differences between Ca and control (Mann-Whitney test, p = 0.1631). It can be concluded that Ca group showed a fungicid activity against C. albicans similar to the control, but lower fungistatic activity when compared to the control. Group Or showed only a fungistatic action similar to control.

Objective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the silver nanoparticles solution in enterococcus faecallis cultures (ATCC 29212), compared with various solutions of sodium hypoclorithe (NaOCl). Material and methods. Five Agar Petri plates were inoculated with E. faecallis and each of them was placed a cellulose dish embedded with silver nanoparticles solution, or a solution of sodium hypochlorite evaluated (Viarzon, Cloralex, Clorox). Chlorhexidine digluconate 2% was used as positive control and sterile saline solution was used as negative control. After 24 hours of incubation at 37ºc, under aerobic conditions, the zones of inhibition of bacterial growth were measured and the results subjected to the statistical t test among the experimental groups (= 5%). Results. The Cloralex showed to be the most effective reflected in the extent of inhibition in relation to other substances (p< 0.05), except that the chlorhexidine digluconate 2% (p> 0.05). The solution of silver nanoparticles provided a greater zone of inhibition than the sodium hypochlorite solution (Clorox) and Viarzon (p< 0.05). Clorox and Viarzon didn't provide zones of inhibition and were similar to each other (p> 0.05). Conclusions. The solution of silver nanoparticles presents antimicrobial activity in cultured E. faecallis, even higher than other commercial forms of sodium hypochlorite. Further studies should be carried out to determine its viability as irrigating solution in endodontics (AU)

A resistência do biofilme endodôntico pode requerer um período maior de permanência da medicação intracanal a fim de prolongar sua ação antimicrobiana. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ação antimicrobiana residual das medicações intracanal: G1) hidróxido de cálcio + soro; G2) Calen; G3) Calen + PMCC; G4) Calen + clorexidina 0,4% e G5) clorexidina gel 2% frente à Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus e Kocuria rhizophila em 60 canais radiculares bovinos. Os canais radiculares foram instrumentados e preenchidos com as medicações intracanal, as quais foram removidas após os períodos experimentais (15, 30, 60 e 90 dias) e empregadas na técnica de difusão em ágar. Os halos de inibição foram evidenciados por gel de TTC e então mensurados. Os dados de halos de inibição foram submetidos à análise estatística dos testes Kruskall-Wallis e Dunn, com nível de significância de 5%. O Ca(OH)2 + soro apresentou efeito até o período de 15 dias. A pasta Calen demonstrou efeito residual aos 60 dias frente ao S. aureus, enquanto Calen/PMCC até o período de 90 dias frente à S. aureus e K. rhizophila e aos 30 dias para E. faecalis. A pasta Calen associado à clorexidina foi efetiva frente à E. faecalis até o período de 60 dias. A clorexidina gel 2% apresentou ação residual em todos os períodos, com exceção de E. faecalis aos 90 dias, também apresentou atividade antimicrobiana mais prolongada, seguido das associações do hidróxido de cálcio com clorexidina e PMCC.
