Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Candida albicans is a virulent human pathogen and can cause a variety of superficial and deep infections in man like oral thrush, cystitis and liver abscess. Biofilm formation and resultant antifungalresistance is an upcoming problem in this pathogen. Hence we evaluated the effect of extract of betel juice and lemon juice at different concentrations on this pathogen. It was found that at concentration of 4 gram%, betel leaf extract significantly reduced the growth, lipase expression and biofilm of Candida albicans in vitro. This study can pave the way for future studies. Keywords:Candida albicans, pathogen, cystitis, oral thrush, liver abscess.
