Antifungal activity of alcoholic extracts of zizyphus vulgaris and acacia concinna

ABSTRACT

Despite the development in the management of fungal infections with modern drugs, search for the natural antifungal agents is underway. Keeping the above fact in mind, we tested the alcoholic extracts of Z. vulgaris and A. concinna for their antifungal activity by an in vitro trial method. The alcoholic extracts showed significant activity against the tested fungal organisms at the concentration of 2000 micro g/ml which was comparable to the standard, Nystatin at 1000 micro g/ml
