QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF ALLICIN ALONE AND IN COMBINATION WITH ANTIFUNGAL DRUGS.

Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the antifungal activity of allicin alone and in combination with antifungal drugs.

The antifungal activity of allicin and its synergistic effects with the antifungal agents flucytosine and amphotericin B (AmB) were investigated in Candida albicans (C.albicans).C.albicans was treated with different conditions of compounds alone and in combination (allicin, AmB, flucytosine, allicin + AmB, allicin + flucytosine, allicin + AmB + flu
