abstract
the aim of the present study was to investigate the antifungal activity of zatariamultiflora essential oil, fluconazole and ciclopirox olamine against 44 non-albicanscandida isolates from patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. a set of c.glabrata (29 strains), c. krusei (3 stains) and c. patapsilosis (2 strains) were studiedusing clinical and laboratory standards institute (clsi) broth macrodilution method.the results revealed that 33 isolates were resistant (mic=64 μg/ml), 4 isolates weresusceptible (mic≤ 8 μg/ml) and 7 isolates had dose-dependent susceptibility (mic= 16,32 μg/ml) to fluconazole, respectively. with regard to fluconazole, high resistance ratewas observed in c .glabrata and c. krusei. however, ciclopirox olamine was found toinhibit the growth of all non-albicans candida species (mic≤8 μg/ml). in this study,favorable antifungal activity against non-albicans candida species was obtained by z.multiflora despite having a wide range of mics (34875-139500 μg/ml). the resultsindicated that ciclopirox olamine and z. multiflora might be promising in the treatment ofrecurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Introduction: Recent epidemiological studies show that episodes due to non-albicans species of Candida (C) such as Candida tropicalis, C. glabrata, C, krusei, C. parapsilosis appear to be increasing in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). Increased use of the current antifungal drugs cause drug resistance among Candida species. In order to gain suitable antifungal therapy for this disease...

Backgrounds and aims: Candida albicans is more prevalent between Candida species which can cause candidal infection. Various studies have shown drug resistance among the C. albicans isolates, so it is now necessary to discover replacement treatments for the Candida infection. The aim of this study is comparison the effects of different Essential oils (EOs) against azoles-resistant and azoles-su...
