Abstract:Objective: To study antifungal action in vitro of extracts from Garlic by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). Method: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of SFE extract of Garlic against 15 strains dermatophytes were determined by media dilution method. Result: MIC of SFE of garlic to Shanghai strain (Trichophyton tousurans) and Wuhan strains (Trichophyton memtigrophytes, Wool microsporum canis, Achromatism trichophyton rubrum) were 3.13 mg ·L-1, MIC to Shanghai strains(Plaster microsporum canis, Wool microsporum canis)and Wuhan strain(Wool microsporum canis) were 1.56 mg ·L-1, MIC of SFE to Shanghai strains (Trichophyton cerebriforme, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton gypserum) and Wuhan strains (Trichophyton gypserum, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, Candida albicans ) were less than 0.78 mg ·L-1. MBC values were different. Apart from MBC of SFE of garlic to Shanghai strains(Plaster microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum)and Wuhan strains (Trichophyton mentagroph, Epidermophyton floccosum) were 6.25 mg ·L-1, MBC to Shanghai strains (Trichophyton tousurans, Wool microsporum canis) and Wuhan strains (Trichophyton rubrum, Achromatism trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis) were 3.13 mg ·L-1, MBC to Trichophyton cerebriforme(Shanghai strain)was 1.56 mg ·L-1, MBC to Shanghai strains (Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton gypserum) and Wuhan strains (Trichophyton gypserum,Candida albicans) were less than 0.78 mg ·L-1. Conclusion: The SFE extract of Garlic showed strong antifungal effect in vitro.
