Antifungal efficacy of pyrolysis-derived bio-oil aqueous phases from Tropical plant biomass against Candida auris.

ABSTRACT: The emerging fungal pathogen C. auris has recently been recognized as a global threat due to its ability to cause nosocomial and invasive candidemia with high mortality rates. C. auris has been widely reported for its multidrug resistance to antifungals, further complicating its clinical management. In this context, there is an urgent need for the research and development of more efficient alternatives for environmental control, disinfection, and treatment of C. auris. In this study, the antifungal properties of bio-oil aqueous phases (BOAP) derived from the pyrolysis of Cocos nucifera (coconut), Syagrus coronata (licuri), and Terminalia catappa (almond), with traditional antimicrobial efficiency, were evaluated against C. auris., All three BOAPs formulations exhibited remarkable antifunga
