Antifungal activity of Allium, Aloe, and Solanum species

The current study evaluated and established the activity of Allium sativum Linn., Aloe barbadensis Mill., and Solanum nigrum Linn. against some common fungal species associated with superficial mycoses. The ethanol and aqueous extracts of these plants were tested to establish the antimycological effects against dermatophytes, saprophytes, and Candida species isolated from infected hospitalized patients. The in vitro antifungal activity was established by observing and measuring the zones of inhibition formed on selective nutrient media. Zones of inhibition were categorized as very high (41–50 mm), high (31–40 mm), medium (21–30 mm), and low (11–20 mm). High zones of inhibition were noted with ethanol extracts of Allium sativum, Aloe barbadensis, and Solanum nigrum.
