After publication of the original article [1], the following error was reported in the Results section of the Abstract: "antifungal activity against one yeast i.e. Aspergillus niger" should read: "antifungal activity against one fungus i.e. Aspergillus niger". The authors would like to confirm all antifungal activity has been screened against fungi not yeast.

Background: In this study, we evaluated antibacterial and antifungle activity of these derivatives against gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus), gram negative (Proteus vulgaris) bacteria and fungale (Candida albicans, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata). Methods: The broth macro dilution and well agar diffusion methods were used for determination of inhibition zoom (I...

the root and flowers of butea monosperma (lam.) were extracted with methanol. extensive chromatographic separation and purification with the organic solvents was done. four phytochemicals were separated and their structures were established based on various spectroscopic techniques. isolated crude extract was subjected for antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria ...

Sea cucumber is presented as potential marine source of antimicrobial compounds. The purpose of this study is to evaluate antifungal effects of sea cucumber, Holothuria leucospilota, extracts on Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Methanol and chloroform extracts of the body wall, gonad and intestine of sea cucumber, H. leucospilota, collected from Persian Gulf, were evaluated for their ant...

During a continuing search for antimicrobial substances from Korean native wild mushroom extracts, we found that the methanolic extract of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis exhibited mild antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi. Therefore we evaluated the antifungal substances and other chemical components of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis, which led to the isolation of ne...

This study was performed to investigate the antifungal substances and the antifungal activity against fungi of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from kimchi. LAB from kimchi in Imsil showed antifungal activity against Penicillium brevicompactum strain FI02. LAB LI031 was identified as Lactobacillus sakei subsp. Antifungal substances contained in L. sakei subsp. ALI033 culture media were unsta...

Search for naturally occurring compounds with antifungal activity has become quite intense due to the side effects of synthetic fungicides and the development of pathogens against such fungicides. Hence screening of various Siddha drugs for their antifungal activity against various strains of Candida albicans was considered worthwhile. Seven such Siddha drugs were screened for their antifungal ...

Introduction The oral cavity is a habitat for a large number of microorganisms which coexist with one another as normal microbiota. Candida species are ovoid budding yeast like fungi. The organism is a normal commensal of humans found on skin and throughout gastrointestinal tract. Poor oral hygiene, high carbohydrate diet, nutritional deficiencies, diabetes mellitus, dental prostheses, heavy ci...

background: the rise of opportunistic fungal infections highlights the need for development of new antimicrobial agents. antimicrobial peptides (amps) and antifungal peptides (afps) are among the agents with minimal resistance being developed against them, therefore they can be used as structural templates for design of new antimicrobial agents. methods: in the present study four antifungal pep...

abstract objective: shallots are important part of the diet for many people and there is long-held belief in their health enhancing properties. the aim of this study was to determine antifungal activity of shallot against reference fungal strains. methods: alcoholic and aqueous extracts of shallot (allium hirtifolium) were tested for in vitro antifungal activities against aspergillus fumigatus,...
