Evaluation of In-vitro Anticandidal Activity of 99 Different Commercial Plant Extract, Fixed and Essential Oils against Vaginal Candida albicans Isolates
Abstract
Plant extracts (PE), fixed oils (FO) and essential oils (EO) are used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases. This study evaluated the anticandidal activity of 100 different commercially available PEs, FOs, and EOs against 19 Candida albicans vaginal isolates and C. albicans ATCC 10231. It was determined that 20 EOs and FOs had anticandidal activity. Piper nigrum FO, pine turpentine EO, pine tar EO, and Eugenia caryophyllata EO showed the highest anticandidal activity. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFC) values of these FO and EOs were between 0.125 and 2 µL mL-1. The volatile components of these FOs and EOs were determined by GC-MS analysis. There were six components in E. caryophyllata EO, 38 in Pine turpentine EO, 39 in P. nigrum FO, and 119 in Pine tar EO. In conclusion, this FOs and EOs can be used to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis.
