in vitro activity of essential oils in particular melaleuca alternifolia tea tree oil and tea tree oil products against candida spp
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1998Co-Authors: Katherine A Hammer, Christine F Carson, Thomas V RileyAbstract:The in-vitro activity of a range of essential oils, including tea tree oil, against the yeast candida was examined. Of the 24 essential oils tested by the agar dilution method against Candida albicans ATCC 10231, three did not inhibit C. albicans at the highest Concentration tested, which was 2.0% (v/v) oil. Sandalwood oil had the lowest MIC, inhibiting C. albicans at 0.06%. Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil was investigated for activity against 81 C. albicans isolates and 33 non-albicans Candida isolates. By the broth microdilution method, the Minimum Concentration of oil inhibiting 90% of isolates for both C. albicans and non-albicans Candida species was 0.25% (v/v). The Minimum Concentration of oil killing 90% of isolates was 0.25% for C. albicans and 0.5% for non-albicans Candida species. Fifty-seven Candida isolates were tested for sensitivity to tea tree oil by the agar dilution method; the Minimum Concentration of oil inhibiting 90% of isolates was 0.5%. Tests on three intra-vaginal tea tree oil products showed these products to have MICs and Minimum fungicidal Concentrations comparable to those of non-formulated tea tree oil, indicating that the tea tree oil contained in these products has retained its anticandidal activity. These data indicate that some essential oils are active against Candida spp., suggesting that they may be useful in the topical treatment of superficial candida infections.

Efficacy of 2-phenoxyethanol as an anaesthetic for two size classes of white sea bream, Diplodus sargus L., and sharp snout sea bream, Diplodus puntazzo C
Aquaculture, 2005Co-Authors: H. Tsantilas, F Athanassopoulou, N. N. Prassinos, Apostolos D. Galatos, Katerina KousoulakiAbstract:The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2-phenoxyethanol as an anaesthetic for two size classes of white sea bream, Diplodus sargus L. (30 and 60 g), and sharp snout sea bream, Diplodus puntazzo C., (15 and 30 g) and establish the Minimum Concentration producing desirable anaesthetic effects on them. Fish were exposed to Concentrations varying from 0.1 to 0.4 mL/L for a 60-min period. At Concentrations of 0.1, 0.117 and 0.133 mL/L, 2-phenoxyethanol failed to induce anaesthesia, whereas at Concentrations of 0.167, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mL/L all the fish were anaesthetised within 3 min of exposure. However, mortality was observed with the two higher Concentrations. Induction time decreased and recovery time increased with increasing Concentrations, being significantly Concentration-dependent in both species (P ≤ 0.01). Following exposure of D. sargus to Concentrations of 0.2 or 0.3 mL/L, both induction and recovery time were significantly weight-dependent (P ≤ 0.01). However, erratic weight dependencies of both induction and recovery time were observed in D. puntazzo. 2-Phenoxyethanol proved to be an effective and safe anaesthetic in both species permitting rapid and uneventful induction and recovery after a 60-min exposure period. The Minimum Concentration producing desirable anaesthetic effects was 0.167 mL/L.

visual detector for vaporized hydrogen peroxide
2004Co-Authors: 迈克a 森坦尼Abstract:A method and apparatus for sensing the Concentration of a gaseous sterilant in a sealable enclosure. An indicator is provided that has a chemistry such that the indicator changes color when exposed to vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP). The chemistry is adapted to react when exposed to a specific Minimum Concentration of vaporized hydrogen peroxide for a specific Minimum period of time. In this manner, it can be visually determined whether articles (e.g., medical instruments and like devices) located within the sealable enclosure have been exposed to a Minimum threshold of vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
