Abstract | ||
Twelve types of imported traditional yogurts and home-made yogurts are studied for antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans. The investigation showed that the presence of lactobacillus spp. in some types of used yoghurts, while lack in others. Antimicrobial activity of yoghurts with presence of Lactobacillus was established against Candida albicans. The metabolites produced by Lactobacillus were inhibited Candida albicans growth. Water solutions with different pH values (5, 7, 8) were used to cultivate Candida albicans, the results showed there is no effect of pH values on the growth of Candida albicans, while the presence of Lactobacillus and their secondary metabolites exhibited notable inhibitory effect against Candida albicans growth. | ||
