Abstract
The activity of propolis extract and chlorhexidine digluconate on Candida sp isolated from oral mucosa of patients in ICU was evaluated. The minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFC) were determined, and also the production of proteinase and phospholipase exoenzymes and the fringe formation. Seventy-two isolates were used and identified by the API 20C AUX® System. The antifungal activity was evaluated by “at base 2” serial microdilution technique. Also the exoenzymes production (proteinase and phospholipase), the fringes formation, before and after being exposed to propolis and chlorhexidine, were analysed. Of 72 isolates, 53 were C. albicans, 11 C. tropicalis, four C. guilhermondii and four suggestive C. dubliniensis. The MFC 90% of propolis extract was 5% C. albicans, 20% C. tropicalis, 0.625% C. guilhermondii; and 0.312% suggestive of C. dubliniensis. MFC 90% of chlorhexidine was 0.0018% C. albicans, 0.012% C. tropicalis, 0.0018% C. guilhermondii and 0.00375% suggestive of C. dubliniensis. The inhibition of exoenzymes and fringes occurred in the both products. Although the inhibition of chlorhexidine is lower than that showed by propolis, its daily use neither cause undesirable side effects as blemishes on the teeth and tongue, nor the loss of the taste and the burning sensation in the oral mucosa.
