Evaluación in vitro de la efectividad del aceite esencial de Chamaemelum nobile y Eucalyptus frente a Candida albicans ATCC
Resumen
La investigación se centró en analizar la eficacia del aceite esencial obtenido de manzanilla (Chamaemelum Nobile) y eucalipto (Eucalyptus) frente a la Candida albicans sensible (ATCC® 90028). Fue laboratorial in vitro de corte longitudinal, con el fin de analizar la eficacia del aceite esencial de manzanilla, eucalipto y una combinación de ambas sustancias frente a Candida albicans sensible (ATCC® 90028), en concentraciones del 50%, 75% y 100%. Se determinó que el aceite esencial de manzanilla presentó un efecto inhibitorio frente a Candida albicans sensible (ATCC® 90028), en concentraciones del 75% y 100%. Adicionalmente, el fluconazol, que actúa como control positivo, presentó una zona de inhibición de 19 mm en los mismos escenarios de concentración. El aceite esencial de manzanilla mostró una mayor eficacia frente a Candida albicans sensible (ATCC® 90028), a concentraciones del 75% y del 100%.
