Status: Unknown

Intervention Type: Drug, Dietary supplement
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 4
SUMMARY

Fungi from the genus Candida present the saprophytic flora of the cavity. This saprophytic yeast can cause different form of oral infections at immunocompromised patients as well as at subjects with impaired local oral microbiota e.g. wearers of dentures. The most common cause of oral candidiasis is Candida albicans, but recently, non-albicans species has also been commonly isolated. One of the reasons for growing frequency of non-albicans species is traditional antifungal therapy. Standard antifungal therapy, which means elimination of yeasts, lead to antimicrobial resistance, dysbiosis and higher incidence of non-albicans species In order to overcome these limitations, the new antimicrobial therapy is based on anti-virulence strategy. This approach relays on disarming the microorganism, instead of killing or stopping their growth, which is especially important for saprophytes. In case of Candida albicans the main goal is preventing transition from cell to hyphal form.
