The effect of some plant extracts on pathogenic fungi that cause human & animal infections

Abstract

Two types of plant extracts (Eucalyptus & Oleander)were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against two food spoilage fungal organisms(Aspergillus  flavus & Penecillum). The plant extracts were prepared by ethanolic extraction of their leaves & concentrated after that .Two concentrations of each extract were prepared (1,0.5)mg/ml& tested for their antifungal activity .

       The results revealed that both extracts at the both concentrations  inhibited the growth of (A. flavus & P.) significantly as compared with control
