In Vitro: Evaluation of Inhibitory Activity of Some Plant Extracts Against Oral Candidiasis (original) (raw)

2014

Abstract

Six ethanolic extracts from plants of Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), Black Cumin (Nigella sativa), Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), Black Pepper (Piper nigrum), and Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) were purchased from local market in H’ail province, Saudi Arabia were assayed for the in vitro inhibitory activity against some oral Candidal isolates. The prevalence of oral candidal infections among poor control diabetes patients was higher (56%) than fair control (30%) and good control (7%) diabetes patients. Statistically, our data indicated that a higher significant difference between the prevalence of oral candidiasis and diabetic control (p-value = 0.001). Cinnamon and Clove plant extracts were the most effective of all pathogenic yeasts studied. Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis and C tropicalis showed greatest degree of sensitivity to Cinnamon and Clove plant extracts. The inhibition zone diameter recorded 34.6, 31.5; 45, 31; 45.5, 29.5 mm, respectively at 100...
