Abstract:There is high demand for the development of novel, effective, clinically safe and affordable antifungal agents to manage the ever emerging and re-emerging fungal infections. Natural compounds may be a source of novel chemical structures for development of antimicrobials. The aim of this study was to determine the inorganic and organic chemical constituents of trona, alum and palm ash; as potential alternatives to conventional antifungal drugs. The fungal isolates were obtained from high vaginal swab samples of… Show more
