Antimicrobial stewardship programs and high drug screening are two of the measures that are being used. Today, fungal infections are severe health problems. Utilizing plant-based natural compounds that are effective against various human pathogenic fungi is one method for preventing the issues associated with fungal infection. In this research, extracts are used as an option to treat patients with Candida albicans infection. The research aimed to examine the antifungal properties of an ethanol extract from Parameria laevigata (Juss.) Moldenke stem bark against C. albicans isolated from patients. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; This research used a microdilution method. C. albicans from patients diagnosed with vulvovaginal candidiasis. The test sample is 70% and 96% ethanol extracted from P. laevigata stem bark. Data analysis used One-way ANOVA with a P value of 0.000. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The result showed that PLE-70 can inhibit the growth of C. albicans with the highest %inhibition for ATCC 14053, CP-1, CP-2, CP-3, and CP-4, respectively 36.39%; 37.51%; 38.66%; 45.78%; 84.87%. PLE-96 can inhibit the growth of C. albicans with the highest %inhibition for ATCC 14053, CP-1, CP-2, CP-3, and CP-4 respectively 17.49%; 17.77%; 29.27%; 34.12%; 38.42%. Conclusion: It was concluded that the ethanol extract from P. laevigata stem bark can inhibit C. albicans isolated from vulvovaginal candidiasis patients.&lt;/p&gt;

This study was done to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activities of E.L. root extract against three common oral pathogens. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The microorganisms used were &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Lactobacillus casei.&lt;/em&gt; E.L root was extracted using soxhlet method. Disc diffusion assay was conducted using extract concentration of 200 mg/ml. Nystatin and Ampicillin were used as positive control for fungal and bacterial tests respectively. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was done to determine the lowest inhibitory concentration of the extract on the microorganisms. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;E.L extract inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans at a concentration of 200 mg/ ml with a zone of inhibition of 16.0 ± 3.0 mm and 7.0 ± 1.0 mm respectively. There was no antimicrobial effect of the extract on Lactobacillus casei. The MIC of E.L extract against both Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans was 25 mg/ml. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The results from this study revealed the potential use of Eurycoma longifolia jack as an antimicrobial agent which can be used to produce new oral care products.&lt;/p&gt;

To overcome the resistance and other drawbacks of the current antimicrobial drugs and to obtain more efficacious drugs, an antimicrobial drug having a novel mode of action should be developed. The flavonoid compounds have demonstrated for their therapeutic potential as antimicrobial agents previously. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate the antifungal efficacy of plant derived compounds such as hesperetin (HSP) and silibinin (SBN) compounds &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study, we evaluated the antifungal effect of two plant derived flavonoid compounds &lt;em&gt;i.e&lt;/em&gt;., SBN and HSP against &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Malassezia furfur, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium oxalicum&lt;/em&gt;. The disk diffusion test was performed to test the antifungal effect of HSP and SBN with three different concentrations &lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, 15, 20, 25 mg/ml of HSP and SBN. The antifungal efficacy was studied for 72 h. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Our results indicate that SBN has significant antifungal effect than that of HSP. The high sensitivity of these compounds was found against &lt;em&gt;C. albicans, C. tropicalis&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These drugs could be good candidate to combine with regular antimicrobial agents.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">789</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ramar Gowtham&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Fysal Yousuf MA&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Devaraj Ezhilarasan&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Shanmugam Sambantham&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Balakrishnan Anandan&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The concept of immunomodulation has been gaining much significance worldwide as people started realizing the indispensible role of the immune system in maintaining a disease-free state. Natural products have been considered a plentiful source in the search for new chemical entities that modulate the immune system with reduced adverse effects. Pharmacological evaluation of the crude ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia diffusa &lt;/em&gt;roots has shown to possess anti proliferative and immunomodulatory properties but not reported from &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia erecta&lt;/em&gt;. Due to that, immunomodulatory activity was carried out for the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia erecta&lt;/em&gt; (Family: Nyctaginaceae). In this present study, aqueous extract of whole plant of &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia erecta&lt;/em&gt; exhibited phagocytosis stimulation of human neutrophils against &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/em&gt; in a dose dependent manner.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">241</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vasuki K&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Murugananthan G&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Banupriya C&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Ramya R&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Mohana Priya C&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Shenjudar D&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
