Previous issue date: 2013-06-10 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / Natural oils have shown a scientific importance due to its pharmacological activity and renewable character. The copaiba (Copaifera langsdorffii) and Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana Shaw) oils are used in folk medicine particularly because the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. Emulsion could be eligible systems to improve the palatability and fragrance, enhance the pharmacological activities and reduce the toxicological effects of these oils. The aim of this work was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of emulsions based on copaiba (resin-oil and essential-oil) and bullfrog oils against fungi and bacteria which cause skin diseases. Firstly, the essential oil was extracted from copaiba oil-resin and the oils were characterized by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Secondly, emulsion systems were produced. A microbiological screening test with all products was performed followed (the minimum inhibitory concentration, the bioautography method and the antibiofilm determination). Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata, C. krusei and C. tropicalis American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and clinical samples were used. The emulsions based on copaiba oil-resin and essential oil improved the antimicrobial activity of the pure oils, especially against Staphylococcus e Candida resistant to azoles. The bullfrog oil emulsion and the pure bullfrog oil showed a lower effect on the microorganisms when compared to the copaiba samples. All the emulsions showed a significant antibiofilm activity by inhibiting the cell adhesion. Thus, it may be concluded that emulsions based on copaiba and bullfrog oils are promising candidates to treatment of fungal and bacterial skin infections / Os ?leos naturais v?m chamando aten??o da comunidade cient?fica devido a suas atividades farmacol?gicas e seu car?ter renov?vel. Os ?leos de copa?ba (Copaifera langsdorffii) e de r?-touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw) ganham destaque, especialmente devido a ampla utiliza??o na medicina popular como anti-inflamat?rios e antimicrobianos. Sistemas emulsionados a base destes ?leos podem ser produzidos com a finalidade de melhorar o odor e a palatabilidade dos mesmos, al?m de potencializar a??o e reduzir toxicidade dos seus componentes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a atividade antimicrobiana de emuls?es contendo ?leos de copa?ba (?leo-resina e ?leo essencial) e ?leo de r?-touro frente a cepas de micro-organismos causadores de infec??es cut?neas. Inicialmente, foi realizada a extra??o de ?leo essencial e sua caracteriza??o qu?mica por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectroscopia de massas. Em seguida, foram produzidas emuls?es, ensaios de triagem microbiol?gica, microdilui??o para determina??o de concentra??o inibit?ria m?nima, bioautografia para determina??o dos componentes antimicrobianos e avalia??o da atividade antibiofilme. Foram utilizadas cepas da American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) e cl?nicas de Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata, C. krusei e C. tropicalis. Foi observado que os sistemas emulsionados de ?leo-resina de copa?ba e ?leo essencial de copa?ba contribu?ram na potencializa??o da atividade antimicrobiana, especialmente contra cepas do g?nero Staphylococcus e Candida resistentes aos az?is. A emuls?o de ?leo de r?-touro assim como o ?leo puro, apresentou menor atividade que as amostras de copa?ba, por?m exibiu significativa a??o antibiofilme, demonstrando que este sistema ? um potencial inibidor da ades?o de micro-organismos. Deste modo, pode-se inferir que as emuls?es a base destes ?leos s?o promissores sistemas para o tratamento de infec??es cut?neas f?ngicas e bacterianas
