<p style="text-align: justify;">Candida albicans infection is the cause of candidiasis. Candidiasis treatment can be done with a variety of antifungal drugs, one of them is rhizome of kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.). The Rhizome of kencur is selected as a traditional medicine because it contains chemical compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins and essential oil that serves as an antifungal. This study aimed to determine the minimal inhibitory and minimal killing power and also an influence of kencur rhizome extract on the growth of Candida albicans in vitro. This research was true experimental design with posttest only control group design with tube dilution method. Results of Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) research showed there was no clarity at concentration of 20 mg/mL, 30 mg/mL, 40 mg/mL, and it shows clarity at concentration of 50 mg/mL and 60 mg/mL. Results of Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBCs) showed the number of colonies at concentration of 20 mg/mL were 84 colonies, concentration of 30 mg/mL were 48 colonies, concentration of 40 mg/mL were 27 colonies, concentration of mg/mL were 12 colonies and concentration of 60 mg/mL were 0 colony. Based on linear regression test, the result showed significance value of 0.000 <ɑ = 0.05 so it can be concluded that there is a kencur rhizome extract influence on the growth of Candida albicans in vitro with minimal inhibitory concentrations is the concentration of 50 mg/mL and the minimal bactericidal concentrations 60 mg/mL. Further studies are required regarding kencur rhizome extract (Kaempferia galanga L.) in inhibiting and bactericidal microorganisms other than Candida albicans.

The most common cause of patalogis leucorrhoea is infection, one of which is Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) caused by fungus, while 80% -90% is caused by Candida albicans. Approximately 90% of young women in Indonesia have the potential to experience vaginal discharge because Indonesia is a tropical climate. Alternative treatment for antifungal drugs is needed through the exploration of natural material sources that have the potential as antifungals to deal with this infection safely and easily. The design used in this study was experimental research by in vitro using the dilution method of the tube. Treatment concentrations are 45%; 40%; 35%; 30%; 25%; 20%, 15% and 0% with Candida albicans 104 CFU / ml samples from the microbiology laboratory of the medical faculty Brawijaya University and repeated 3 times. The result showed that at all concentrations, growth was still obtained in agar media so that it could be denied that the boiled water of avocado seeds had no effect on the growth of Candida albicans fungal colonies in vitro because there were still fungal colonies on the plates.

Background: Candida albicans is the commonly associated species with oral lesions, but other Candida spp., such as C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, and C. dubliniensis have also been isolated from the human saliva, even irrespective to the oral candidiasis. Candidal colonization has also been documented from subgingival plaque of adults with periodontitis.Objective: Nowadays there is a great demand of natural herbal medicines. For a Diabetic person having Periodontitis, the use antifungal drugs are must. Therefore the antifungal capacity of the commonly used drug and herbs has been evaluated.Methods: For the study, the patients were screened and categorised into two study and one control group, having 20 patients in each group, on the basis of their respective Blood Glucose level and Dental status using standard clinical parameters. Oral rinse of 60 patients including both gender were selected from the Out Patient Department of Periodontitis, Rungta College of Dental Sciences and Research, Chhattisgarh. Chrome Candida Agar Media was used to identify Candida albicans and NAC. In vitro tests of the effectiveness of selected antimycotic agents against test candidal isolates recovered from the patient were performed to check the efficacy of the antifungal agents by the Kirby-Bauer Disc Diffusion method.Result: We found that by the use of this chromogenic media most of the commonly recovered NAC can be easily distinguished as each species produced the widest range of colours and morphologies. The herbal extracts Aloe Vera and Garlic failed to inhibit the growth of the candidal species but Neem, Meetha Neem, Triphala, Tulsi showed sensitivity to varying degree. Now a day there are much popularity of using herbal products, having its extracts incorporated in the cosmetics and other products used by humans.Conclusion: We conducted the sensitivity check of the candidal isolates against the dental dentrifices and found that however all the toothpastes contained herbal extracts capable of destroying bacteria but it did not showed good results against candidal species except the Patanjali Toothpaste. This may be due the fact that Patanjali Dant Kanti Dental Cream has the combination of all the herbal extract mixed altogether. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijosh.v4i1.12164

ABSTRACTBackground: Mauli banana stem and basil leaves are natural ingredients that have the potential to be used as a treatment for Candida albicans infections. The methanol extract of mauli banana stem with 25% concentration is merely fungistatic which is still not capable to induce fungicidal effect, while the 100% concentration is known to be less effective than 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate. Adding basil leaves extract to mauli banana stem extract is expected to increase antifungal activities against Candida albicans. Purpose: to analyze the antifungal activity of mauli banana stem and basil leaves extract mixture with concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% against Candida albicans by dilution method. Method: This research used a true experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design consisting of 11 treatments to obtain Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). Result: The 10% concentration was identified as the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), and no concentration could be classified as the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) because all treatment group still exhibited Candida albicans growth on the SDA medium. Conclusion: Mauli banana stem and basil leaves extract mixture has an MIC value of 10% and does not demonstrate any value for the MBC. Keywords: Basil leaf, Candida albicans, Mauli banana stem, MBC, MIC
