  Background & Objective: Candidal vulvovaginitis occurs in female genital by the over growth of candida especially candida albicans. Noticing the daily increase of drug resistance, attempts should be made for providing anti-fungal and anti-microbial drugs. This study is to determine the comparison of concentration in-vitro effects of Zataria multiflora Boiss and Mentha pulegium Essential Oil plants Composition with one of them Nystatin on Candida albicans Isolates of Vaginal Candidiasis and comparing their with standard.Materials and Methods : This experimental study assessed the antimicrobial effect of 2 plant extracts on Candida Albicans. Zataria multiflora Boiss and Mentha pulegium were selected based on previous researches and traditional usel. On each plate, one plant extract disc, one nystatin disc (aspositive control) and one blank disc (as negative controls) were placed. The mean diameter of non-growth halo around each plant extract was compared with the mean diameter of non-growth halo of positive control discs after 24 hours.Data analysis was done by ANOVA statistical test. Results: There was significant different between the diameter of non-growth halo around the plant extracts and nystation discs. (p<0.05). Conclusion: Zataria multiflora Boiss and Mentha pulegium exhibited antifungal effects on C. Albincans But the effect of Mentha pulegium on the lack of growth of Candida Albicans strains was greater than that in Zataria multiflora Boiss. Manuscript profile

  Monolaurin, pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L., Labiatae) and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) essential oils have various antibacterial activities on microorganisms. Enhancement of antibacterial activity and detection of their combined effects on B.cereus ATCC 11778 and E. coli O157:H7 were the purpose of this investigation. Monolaurin preparation, spearmint and pennyroyal essential oils preparation and analysis of their chemical composition with GC-MS method, bacterial inoculums preparation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing using broth micro dilution MIC testing and finally statistic analysis of results with SPSS software package were the material and methods used in this research. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of pennyroyal oil, spearmint oil, monolaurin, monolaurin-pennyroyal oil combination and monolaurin-spearmint oil combination on B.cereus and E. coli O157:H7 were significant (p<0.01). The MIC of monolaurin-pennyroyal oil combination and monolaurin-spearmint oil combination on B.cereus in comparison with the MIC of pennyroyal and spearmint oils separately were significant (p<0.01). Monolaurin spearmint oil combination showed synergistic inhibitory effect on E.coli O157:H7. The most effective antimicrobial agents on B.cereus were monolaurin, monolaurin-spearmint oil combination and monolaurin-pennyroyal oil combination, and the least effective agent was spearmint oil. Also the most effective antimicrobial agent on E. coli O157:H7 was pennyroyal oil, and the least effective agent was monolaurin. Since the MIC of monolaurin-pennyroyal oil combination and monolaurin-spearmint oil combination on E.coli O157:H7 in comparison with the MIC of monolaurin separately were not significant, therefore for significant effect on E.coli O157:H7 and other gram negative bacteria, combination of monolaurin with chelating agents and other natural antimicrobials are suggested.
