Abstract

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) ; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) ; Metodologias para determinar atividade antifúngica foram desenvolvidas com adaptações para avaliar produtos naturais. As mais usadas são bioautografia e o método de difusão em agar, que empregam meios de cultura complexos, não definidos. Neste estudo são discutidos os métodos para determinação de atividade antifúngica de produtos naturais e é recomendado o uso do micrométodo modificado segundo o documento M27A2 do CLSI. ; Methodology for testing natural compounds for determination of antifungal activity had been developed with adaptations. The most used are bioautography and agar diffusion with a complex and no defined media. In this study, different methods for determination of antifungal activity of natural products are discussed and the use of M27-A2 microdilution test from CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, 2002), as general standard methodology for testing plant extracts activity is recommended.
