Allicin is one of the main components of fresh and crushed garlic with a varied range of effects, including genotoxic, antiapoptotic, antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic properties. Accordingly, this component entails antifungal properties against C.albicans. Garlic compounds are divided into two major groups of sulphur containing and non-sulphur-containing. (1)
Thus this study aims to check the cell membrane activity of garlic against Candida species.Out of 71 samples, Candida albicans were isolated from 17 (24%) samples. The remaining 54 (66%) were Candida non-albicans. The zone of inhibition of growth in SDA was measured. Scanning electron microscopy investigation indicated loss of structural integrity. This showed that the extract of garlic was found to be effective against different Candida spp strain. Candida treated with garlic extract had rough and fluffy surface and also irregularly-shape. Based on the work, the effectiveness of garlic was determined and the mechanism of susceptibility was identified. With future research works in the field, many such natural herbal extracts can be proven to be effective against many pathogenic fungal infections. The antifungal susceptibility test should be done to every isolates in order to rule out the amphotericin B, other azole drug resistance and also the resistance of Allium sativum in order to help in the treatment by equipping clinician with herbal antifungal drugs.
