Evaluation of pesticide acetamiprid on Candida parapsilosis biofilm using Raman spectroscopy

Key Points

• Acetamiprid significantly reduces Candida parapsilosis biofilm formation, indicating its potential as an antifungal agent.
• A notable reduction in biofilm biomass was observed, highlighting acetamiprid's effectiveness in inhibiting growth.
• Analysis utilized Raman spectroscopy to assess biofilm characteristics, revealing structural changes due to acetamiprid exposure.
• These findings suggest that acetamiprid could play a role in developing new antifungal treatments for Candida infections.
