Antifungal Activity of Ethanolic Leaf Extract of Limonia acidissima against Dermatophytes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Antifungal activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Limonia acidissima was studied against three common dermatophytic fungai like Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccosum by disc diffusion method and zone of inhibition was determined. Ketoconazle was used as reference control. The ethanolic leaf extract of Limonia acidissima exhibited antifungal activity against all the three dermatophytic fungai and the effects were comparable with the reference control Ketoconazole.
