Inhibitory effects of different fractions separated from standardized extract of Myrtus communis L. against nystatin-susceptible and nystatin-resistant Candida albicans isolated from HIV positive patients

Abstract

Results revealed that the PE and CH fractions showed greater antifungal effects than the total extract against both susceptible and resistant strains of <i>Candida albicans.</i> It can conclude that active antifungal compounds of the plant belong to a specific group of metabolites, which according to the type of solvent, probably have non-polar nature. Further separation is carrying out.
