| Abstract | Plants are very useful and utilized as medicine due to their medicinal properties. Screening of plants for biologically active compounds against human pathogens is a renewed interesting research field. In this study, seven plants extracts were used namely: Plantago media subspstepposa, Quercuc infectoria, Punic granatum, Thymus otschyana, Zingier officinalis, Rhus angustifolia and Cinnamomun were screened for its potential antibacterial activity against Candida tropicalis, Candida albicanus, Candida dublinensis, Candida krusei and Candida glabrata. The antimicrobial activity was determined in ethanol extracts and distill water extracts of these plants. The distill water extracts showed minimum antimicrobial activity when compared to ethanolic extracts. The ethanolic extracts of Q. infectoria showed the maximum activity against all species of Candida fungus. |
