Abstract :

Nowadays, a large number of antifungal drugs are produced in the world, but the main issue of drug resistance to these treatments is BASHDV, therefore, new findings or materials that have antifungal effect have always been considered for researchers in different fields.Therefore, this study the antifungal effects of celery extract on the yeast fungi of Candida albicans, Dermatophyte (Trichophyton rubrum) and sproblons (Aspergillus flavus) have been investigated in laboratory conditions. In this experimental study, watey and alcoholic extracts of celery were prepared by maceration method.Antifungal activity of alcoholic and watery extract of the celery plant was evaluated using application diffusion in disk and well diffusion for 3 types of Aspergillus flavus, Trichophyton, and Candida albicans with three replications. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MFC) by Microdilishin method were determined. The results were analyzed using one-way anova. The results showed that the alcoholic extract of the celery plant in comparison with the watery extract has a more inhibitory effect on the laboratory conditions. As a result, the alcoholic extract of the celery plant has a greater antifungal effect.
