Resumen
The aim of this study is to determine the inhibitory effect of the essential oils of Origanum vulgare and Mentha piperita in comparison to nystatin against Candida albicans strains. Eighty Petri dishes were prepared with Sabouraud agar and inoculated with Candida albicans strains. The dishes were divided into two parts: 40 dishes for Origanum vulgare and 40 for Mentha piperita. Four wells were created with concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, one negative control well with distilled water, and one positive control well with Nystatin for each plate, making a total of six wells per Petri dish. The plates were incubated at 37°C, and the inhibition halos were measured at 24 and 48 hours. The data were processed using the statistical test for comparison of means for independent samples. The results concluded that Origanum vulgare exhibited an inhibition halo of 45.73mm and 46.35mm at 24 and 48 hours, respectively, greater than Nystatin, which showed 17.83mm and 18.20mm, and Mentha piperita, which exhibited 18.85mm and 19.88mm, very close to Nystatin, with 19.60mm and 20.30mm.
Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio es determinar el efecto inhibidor del aceite esencial de Origanum vulgare y Mentha piperita en comparación a la nistatina frente a cepas de Candida albicans. Se prepararon 80 placas Petri con Agar Sabouraud y se inocularon las cepas de Cándida albicans; se dividió en 2 partes de 40 placas para el Origanum vulgare y 40 para Mentha piperita, se colocaron 4 pozos con las concentraciones (25%, 50%, 75% y 100), 1 pozo de control negativo con agua destilada y 1 pozo de control positivo con Nistatina para cada placa, haciendo un total de 6 pozos por placa Petri; las placas fueron incubadas a 37°C y se midieron los halos de inhibición generados a las 24 y 48 horas. Los datos se procesaron con la prueba estadística de comparación de medias para muestras independientes; con lo que se concluye que el Origanum Vulgare presenta un halo de inhibición a las 24 y 48 horas de 45.73mm y 46.35mm respectivamente, mayor que la Nistatina de 17.83mm y 18.20mm respectivamente; y con la Mentha piperita de 18.85mm y 19.88mm, muy cercano al de la Nistatina de 19.60mm y 20.30mm.
