Abstract

The antimicrobial activity of essential oils distilled from Tea tree () Rosemary (), Lavender (), Eucalyptus (), Clove (), , Geranium essential oils and mineral oils were screened against two pathogenic fungi, Candida albicans which causes scalp dandruff and Trichophyton rubrum that causes athlete's foot while for the testing, poison food method was used.The purpose of this brief review is to describe the properties of essential oils, principally as antifungal agents, against two most important fungal infections that are Dandruff and Athlete’s foot. The invitro studies of the tested essential oils revealed the positive inhibitory on the tested fungal pathogens. The results showed that the essential oil of almost three aromatic plants have the potential to be used for management of two pathogenic fungi, which causes scalp dandruff and that causes athlete's foot.Hence, the essential oils from medicinal plants used in this study hold great potential for the antifungal properties. However mineral oil showed less activity against the four fungi tested as compared to essential oils.

一些植物精油对两种人类病原体的抗菌特性

分别从茶树()、迷迭香()、薰衣草()、桉树()、丁香()、天竺葵精油和矿物油中提取精油，对引起头皮头皮屑的白色念珠菌和引起脚癣的红毛癣菌两种病原真菌进行抑菌活性筛选，并采用毒食法进行检测。这篇简短的综述的目的是描述精油的特性，主要是作为抗真菌剂，对抗两种最重要的真菌感染，头皮屑和脚癣。体外实验结果表明精油对真菌病原菌有良好的抑制作用。结果表明，几乎三种芳香植物的精油有可能用于治疗两种致病真菌，这两种真菌会导致头皮头皮屑和脚癣。因此，本研究中使用的药用植物精油具有很大的抗真菌潜力。然而，与精油相比，矿物油对四种真菌的活性较低。
