@article{Mahmoudabadi2009AntiFA, title={Anti fungal activity of shallot, Allium ascalonicum Linn. (Liliaceae), in vitro}, author={Ali Zarei Mahmoudabadi and Maryam Nasery}, journal={Journal of Medicinal Plants Research}, year={2009}, volume={3}, pages={450-453} }
The aim of the present study was to investigate anti fungal activities of the fresh extract of Allium ascalonicum Linn. (Liliaceae) against clinically important yeast, dermatophytes and some saprophytic fungi in vitro. The anti fungal effects of fresh crude juice of shallot were determined against 11 isolates of Candida albicans, three species of dermatophytes (Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Epidermophyton floccosum) and Syncephalastrum, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp…
