In Vitro Antimycotic Activity of Some Medicinal Plants Against Human Pathogenic Dermatophytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The water extract, methanol, free flavonoids and bound flavonoids of Allium sativum, Cymbopogon martinii and Catharanthus roseus were screened for their antimycotic activities using disc diffusion method. They were tested against dermatophytes, isolated from patients having tinea infection. The activities of the extracts were compared with the standard antibiotics. The bound flavonoid extracts as well as free flavonoid extracts showed prominent antidermatophytic activity against all the dermatophytes used in the study. From the zones of inhibition produced by the extracts, it was observed that Candida albicans was most resistant to water and methanolic extracts taken from all the medicinal plants used.
