Abstract
Background: Plants may provide a promising source of bioactive compounds that could be used to control infectious diseases. Objective: This study was undertaken to explore antifungal activities of two plant extracts. Methods: Antifungal activity was determined by the aid of disc diffusion method against three references fungal strains, using different dilution (5, 25, 50, 100, 250 μg/ml). Results: Inhibition zone of the extracts was compared with different standards (Nystatin and Griseofulvin). Our study illustrated the occurrences of antimicrobial efficacy. Conclusion: The results of the present study have shown that Moringa oleifera and Hyphaene thebaica possess a promising antifungal activity. Hence further surveys prerequisite to isolate the effective constituents responsible for this activity
