| Abstract | The antifungal properties of different plant extracts were studied to screen their ability to inhibit the growth of opportunistic pathogenic fungi of Candida species (C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis). The isolates were subjected to antifungal susceptibility towards Amphotericin B, Clotrimazole, Fluconazole, Itraconazole, Ketoconazole, and Nystatin. All the isolates were found to be susceptible to Ketoconazol. Further the isolates were tested for susceptibility against different plant extracts i.e. aqueous (Aq), ethanolic (E) extracts of Garlic, Fenugreek, and Ginger using agar well-diffusion method. The aqueous extracts of garlic were more effective than Ethanolic extract. MIC value determination showed 0.0125mg/ml for Candida spp. Fresh aqueous garlic extract has the low MIC values as compared with Ethanolic extract. MFC value for aqueous garlic extracts were found 0.025 mg/ml, 0.025 gm/ml and 0.0125 mg/ml for C.albicans, C.glabrata, and C.parapsilosis respectively. In this present study all three plants have been found to exhibit a greater antifungal activity against human pathogenic fungi (Candida spp). Therefore this study has justified the traditional use of these plants in managing fungal diseases. |
