In Vitro and In Vivo Anti- spp. Activity of Plant-Derived Products.

Candidiasis therapy, especially for candidiasis caused by non- species, is limited by the relatively reduced number of antifungal drugs and the emergence of antifungal tolerance. This study evaluates the anticandidal activity of 41 plant-derived products against species, in both planktonic and biofilm cells. This study also evaluates the toxicity and the therapeutic action of the most active compounds by using the model.
