Resumo
A irradiação com microondas tem sido recomendada para a desinfecção de próteses odontológicas de resinas acrílicas devido ao seu poder inibitório sobre os microrganismos. Entretanto, as alterações celulares provocadas pela irradiação e que levam à inativação dos microrganismos presentes nas próteses não estão esclarecidas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar os efeitos das microondas sobre células de Candida albicans, por meio de parâmetros de contagem celular e de liberação de substâncias intracelulares. Foram obtidas culturas de C. albicans de 24 horas em Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) a partir de cepas padrão (ATCC 10231). As células foram centrifugadas, lavadas e ressuspensas em 400 mL de água destilada gelada na concentração de 108 cél/mL. Essa suspensão foi dividida em experimental e controle. A suspensão experimental (200 mL) foi colocada em um béquer de 500 mL contendo uma prótese total acrílica estéril e irradiada por microondas durante 6 min a 650 W. A suspensão controle não foi submetida à irradiação. Para ambas as suspensões, foram realizadas diluições seriadas para contagem celular em câmara de Neubauer, utilizando a entrada do corante azul de Metileno, como indicativo de alteração de permeabilidade de membrana. Alíquotas diluídas também foram semeadas em Agar Sabouraud Dextrose (ASD). Alíquotas não diluídas foram analisadas quanto à densidade óptica (DO) a 550 nm. Para a quantificação de substâncias liberadas, as células foram eliminadas das suspensões por centrifugação e filtragem e a solução resultante foi liofilizada. O conteúdo liofilizado foi ressuspenso em 5 mL de água destilada e analisado pelos seguintes métodos: Microprote e Sensiprote, para quantificação de proteínas; potenciometria, para quantificação de Na+ e K+; Liquiform,...
Microwaves have been used in the disinfection of acrylic resin dentures as a result of its inhibitory effect on microorganisms. However, much controversy exists concerning the lethal effects of microwave radiation on microorganisms. Evaluating the presence of significant differences on cell counts and substances released between irradiated and non-irradiated Candida albicans cell suspensions was the aim of this study. A stock C. albicans strain (ATCC 10231) was cultured in 600 mL of Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) at 37ºC on a rotating shaker. The cells were centrifuged, water-washed and resuspended in distilled cold water to a final concentration of 108 cell/mL. The cell suspensions were equally divided in a 200 mL experimental suspension, which was placed in a 500 mL beaker with an acrylic resin denture inside and irradiated for 6 min at 650 W. The control suspension (200 mL) was not submitted to irradiation. Aliquots of both suspensions were serially diluted and counting in a Neubauer chamber using the uptake of Methylene blue dye as indicative of alterations in membrane cell permeability. Serially diluted aliquots were spread on Agar Sabouraud dextrose (ASD) plates for viability assay. Non-diluted aliquots were spectrophotometrically measured at 550 nm. To quantify the intracellular released substances, the cells were separated from the suspensions by centrifugation followed by filtering, and the resulting solution was freeze-dried. This liophylized was resuspended in 5 mL of cold water and submitted to optical density (OD) analyses of protein contents by the Microprote and Sensiprote systems; potenciometry analysis of Na+ and K+ contents; Ca++ contents analysis by Liquiform; and nucleic acids contents analysis by OD measurements at 260 nm...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)
