Antifungal Effects of Pterostilbene on Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Microcosm Biofilms of Denture Stomatitis

Pterostilbene, a natural compound found in blueberries and grapes, has been shown to effectively kill Candida fungi that cause denture-related mouth infections. In laboratory tests, it successfully eliminated fungal cells and disrupted harmful biofilms within 8 hours. When tested in a living organism model, pterostilbene proved safe and reduced infection severity, suggesting it could be a promising natural alternative to conventional antifungal medications.

Cold atmospheric plasma improves antifungal responsiveness of Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium keratoplasticum conidia and mycelia

Researchers tested a new treatment called cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) combined with antifungal medications against fungi that cause serious eye infections. CAP, which generates reactive molecules without heat, was found to make antifungal drugs work better against two major fungal pathogens. In some cases, drugs that previously didn’t work started working when combined with CAP. This approach could help treat difficult fungal eye infections that are resistant to standard medications.
