Objective: This study investigates the antifungal effect of Lactobacillus on candida isolated from blood cultures. Methodology : Ten Lactobacilli strains were isolated from the children stool using MRS agar and biochemically identified by API 50CHL. Fifty Candida strains were isolated from blood cultures using Sabouraud dextrose agar. The test of antifungal effect of Lactobacilli strains on Candida was done by using plate well diffusion technique on SD agar.
