Actividad antifúngica del té verde (camellia sinensis) y tomillo (thymus vulgaris) frente a candida albicans

ABSTRACT The antifungal activity of plant oils and extracts has been recognized for years. In the present study, the antifungal activity of green tea (Camellia sinensis) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) extracts against Candida albicans was investigated in an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, in vitro study. This research was carried out with 22 Petri dishes which were inoculated with the fungus in Sabouraud Agar and sterile discs soaked with the respective treatments: green tea treatment in concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, thyme treatment in concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and a combination treatment of green tea and thyme in different proportions 50%-50% and 25%-75% respectively, the positive control was fluconazole (C+) and the negative control was distilled water (C-), the boxes with their respective treatments were placed in the incubator at 37°C for 48 hours. The results obtained were processed and analyzed in the SPSS 25 program. It could be concluded that the most effective extract of the whole study was the Thyme extract in its 100% concentration with values of 22.9 ±0.73mm, presenting an inhibition close to that of C+ against Candida albicans, also the least effective extract was that of Green Tea with an inhibition of 15.8 ±0.91mm, finally it is indicated that there were statistically significant differences between thyme and C+ (p=0.00); however, in the Duraffourd scale it was very sensitive as C+.
