Overview

Experimental analysis revealed fungal agents' response to Calendula officinalis extracts, indicating potential antifungal properties.

Key Points

  • Alcoholic extract of Calendula officinalis significantly inhibits growth of fungal agents in skin infections, suggesting it could serve as an effective treatment alternative.
  • All tested yeast isolates were resistant to the watery extract, while most were sensitive to the alcoholic extract of Calendula officinalis.
  • The study investigated the minimum inhibitory concentration and fungicidal effects on various yeast and filamentous fungi to assess antifungal potential.
  • Findings support the idea that alcoholic extracts may replace traditional antifungal drugs in treating burn-related fungal infections.
