Abstract

This survey was achieved in contribution to the eradication of the opportunist mycosiss through the assessment of the activity antifongic of Aerva lanata (amarantacées) on the in vitro growth of Candida tropicalis and Cryptococcus neoformans. The results of the tests antifongic show that the tested fungal stumps are himself revealed sensitive to the plant excerpt with clean and efficient inhibitions of 100% to different concentrations, according to a measure out-answer relation. With in sight of the values of the parameters antifongics (CMI, CI50), he/it appears that the excerpt hydroalcoolic of Aerva lanata is 2 times more active on Cryptococcus neoformans (CMI = 25mg/mL; CI50 = 1,44 mg/mL) by report to Candida tropicalis (CMI = 50 mg/mL, and CI50 =3,05 mg/mL.).
