Isolation and characterization of natural antimycotics and their potential applications
Dvořáková, Eva ; Hoová, Julie (referee) ; Skoumalová, Petra (advisor)
This bachelor thesis was focused on preparation and characterization of products containing natural antimycotic ingredients. The theoretical part summarizes the current issue of increased presence of mycoses and yeast diseases in connection with the extension of the problem of reduced immunity. Furthermore, the problem of synthetic drugs and antimycotics compared to alternatives of natural origin was described. In the experimental part, selected extracts (aqueous, ethanolic and lipidic) were prepared, characterized and subsequently encapsulated into liposomes. The content of polyphenols, flavonoids and the total antioxidant activity of extracts was measured. In liposomes, the encapsulation efficiency, size, stability and long-term stability were measured. In addition, the antimycotic activity of individual extracts and liposomes against Candida glabrata was studied. For comparison, the antifungal activity of the commercial drug clotrimazole was also tested. Lipidic extracts showed highest antimycotic activity from all of the prepared extracts, which is why these extracts were used to prepare antifungal gels and suppositories. More specifically, lipidic extracts of nasturcium, cinnamon, ginger and liposomes containing them were used. Their antimycotic activity was also tested and confirmed for these preparations. Finally, the cytotoxicity test on the HaCaT human cell line showed that used extracts and liposome particles are safe and that the prepared products could thus serve as an alternative to synthetically prepared antimycotics in the future.

Moulds and residential buildings
Dvořák, Tomáš ; Trachtová, Štěpánka (referee) ; Omelková, Jiřina (advisor)
Bachelor’s thesis is aimed at moulds and residential buildings. At moulds occurrence and at conditions for their growth and reproduction. Thesis defined their distribution, morphology, metabolism and type of reproduction. Describe most important genera of moulds, their identification and procedure during their elimination. Practical part is aimed at two methods of determination in two different types of residential building, in prefab house and in single family house. The object of practical part was to determinate the genus of occurring moulds

Application of natural antibiotics components in hygienic gels
Kubišová, Veronika ; Pavelková, Renata (referee) ; Skoumalová, Petra (advisor)
This bachelor thesis was focused on the preparation and characterization of gels containing a natural component exhibiting an antifungal effect. A part of this work was the research, which was focused on the description of superficial and systemic fungal diseases, antifungal drugs and plant products with a potential antifungal effect. Moreover, biologically active substances found in selected plants was described. Liposome particles that were part of the experimental part were also described and characterized. Considering the subject of this thesis was the preparation of antifungal gel, the basic characteristics of gels such as their drug delivery systems were described. Descriptions of basic methods for the determination of active substances and antifungal activity were not omitted. In the experimental part, three types of extracts (aqueous, ethanolic and lipidic) were prepared from selected plants, which were subsequntly characterized. Also, all kinds of prepared extracts were encapsulated into liposome particles, in which encapsulation efficiency, size and stability by electrokinetic potential were subsequently determined. Prepared extracts in free and encapsulated form were tested for antifungal activity, when testing was performed on Candida glabrata yeast. Moreover, the antimycotic effect of these natural substances was compared with a commercially available antifungal drug, where the drug was also tested in free and encapsulated form. Extracts in which higher active compound content and higher percent inhibitory activity of C. glabrata cells were determined were selected for incorporation into the prepared gels. The result of this work are natural-based gels that could be used to treat infectious fungal diseases. An example of a prepared gel is a gel containing a lipidic extract of marigold or containing liposomes prepared from a lipidic extract of elm pincushion.

Infekční a parazitární onemocnění psů
Musiolková, Miriam
This bachelor thesis deals with the significant infectious and parasitic diseases of dogs. Infectious diseases are divided according to the originators into viral, bacterial and fungal. Parasitic diseases are classified as ectoparasites and endoparasites. Many of them presents risk not only for the dog, but also for his breeder. These are zoonotic diseases transferable to man. There are described etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and diagnosis for each disease. The part of the work includes the possibilities of therapy and preventive measures. The prevention of infectious diseases lies mainly in the regular vaccination of the dog. The antiparasitic products in various application forms are used against parasites.
