Yeast sensitivity was tested toward Nystatine with concentrations ( 10 , 100 , 1000 µg / ml ) the concentration ( 1000 µg / ml ) has the biggest inhibition zone .
We have studied the effect of sodium bicarbonate of C.albicans with concentrations ( 5 % , 10 % , 15 % ) . 5 % was the most effective .
The Ethanol ( 95 % ) extracts of three plants : Allium sativum ; Myrtus communis & pimpinella anisum L . have avariable effects against C.albicans growth . Allium sativum has highly effective .
