This study was aimed to create a bioactive hydrogel form with PVA/PVP (polyvinyl alcohol/poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) polymer using acetone and ethanol extractions of Jania rubens red algae and investigate some pharmaceutical properties. The anti-candidal activity and some inhibition performance of J. rubens/PVA/PVP hydrogel were investigated on Candida tropicalis which is one of the important causes of bloodstream infections.
