Characterization of three native Streptomyces isolates that inhibit the growth of fluconazole-resistant Candida spp strains.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Most fungal infections are caused by species of the Candida genus, particularly C. albicans. The increasing number of strains developing resistance to antifungals, resulting in treatment failures, underscores the urgency of finding new antifungal agents. Since many bacteria of the genus Streptomyces produce molecules that inhibit fungal growth, this work aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of three native isolates obtained from a rhizosphere and an artisanal composting system. Based on 16S RNA gene sequences, as well as biochemical and morphological traits, we identified S. globisporus, S. bacillaris, and S. cavourensis as the species most closely related to the S1H, S40, and S41 isolates, respectively. These species have been reported to produce antifungal compounds. Theinhibition of Candida by antagonistic activity increased with longer Streptomyces incubation times, with no differences observed between Candida species. Few studies have simultaneously evaluated the inhibitory activity of Streptomyces isolates against different Candida strains. In this study, the isolates inhibited the growth of C. albicans, C. krusei, C. guilliermondii, C. glabrata, and C. lusitaniae, including strains resistant to fluconazole.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
