| الملخص: | This is a research study on the antifungal potential of Syzygium
samarangense (Makopa) crude seed extract undertaken to determine its effect
against Candida albicans. The extraction of Syzygium samarangense seeds
was performed using ethanolic extraction. Different concentrations were
prepared by diluting the extract with sterile distilled water to provide a 25%,
50%, and 75% concentration. It was then tested against Candida albicans
using the Disk Diffusion Method (Kirby-Bauer). The study shows that
Syzygium samarangense do not have any antifungal effect on Candida
albicans due to the absence of a “clearing” around the disks impregnated with
Syzygium samarangense extract. Therefore, the researchers conclude that the
test isolates used are resistant to the phytochemical components of Syzygium
samarangense. Ineffectiveness of the crude extract is attributed to some
possible factors such as the strain of the test fungus used, the concentration of
the extract, which may not have the antifungal components, or the
concentration may be too minimal for it to be effective against the growth of
the Candida albicans. |
