Testing of Volatile Oils Activity Extracted from Different Medicinal Plants Against Some Fungi Isolated from Different Sources

Abstract

Volatile oil extracted from Salvia officinalis showed significantly more effective e against growth of T. rubrum isolated from ulceration otitis externa with inhibition significant percentage 96.42% in concentration 1/25 then the concentration 1/50 with inhibition percentage 95.83%, two concentrations 1/75 and 1/100 showed low effects which inhibited fungal growth in percentage 89.28% and 81.54% respectively, While the volatile oil extracted from Zingiber officinale showed inhibited effect in percentage 92.26% in concentration 1/25 and 82.73% in concentration 1/50; The inhibition percentage was 79.76% and 77.97% in concentration 1/75 and 1/100 respectively. Volatile oil extracted from leaves of Apium graveolens was significantly more effective in concentration 1/25 then the volatile oil extracted from Zingiber officinale in the same concentration with a significant inhibition percentage 85.11% so volatile oil of leaves of Mentha piperita in concentration 1/25 with a significant inhibition percentage 81.54% and the concentration 1/100 from volatile oil of leaves of Mentha piperita Lower of all concentration inhibition of fungal growth above with inhibition percentage 70.23%.Volatile oils extracted from Salvia officinalis was more significant effect against growth of yeast C. albicans isolated from ulceration otitis externa so the inhibition percentage was 85.11% followed with volatile oil of leaves of Apium graveolens with percentage 80.35% in concentration 1/50 then volatile oil of leaves of Mentha piperita with inhibition percentage 79.16% in the concentration 1/25 while inhibition percentage of volatile oil extracted from Salvia officinalis ranged between 79.76% and 69.64%, While volatile oil of leaves of Apium graveolens inhibition percentage between 78.57% and 70.23% respectively in concentrations 1/25, 1/100; Volatile oil of Zingiber officinale was lower effect which inhibited fungal growth with percentage 78.57% and 61.30% in higher and lower concentrations respectively, While different volatile oils extracts shows a different inhibition effects against T. Mantagrophytes isolated from skin scraping, So volatile oil extracted from leaves of Mentha piperita showed more effective in concentration 1/25 with inhibition percentage 97.16% then volatile oil extracted from Salvia officinalis with percentage 77.38% in same concentration, There were no significant difference in concentration 1/25 and 1/50 of volatile oil extracted from Zingiber officinale with inhibition percentage 73.80% for both concentrations and volatile oil of leaves of Apium graveolens was less effective which inhibited T. Mantagrophytes in inhibition percentage 69.04% and 64.88% at the concentrations of 1/25 and 1/50 respectively. There was no significant difference between concentrations 1/75 and 1/100 with a percentage of 59.52% for both of them.
