Results: C. albicans, was resistant to hydroalcoholic extracts in the disk diffusion method and grew around the disks containing the extracts. The MIC of aqueous, ethanolic, and methanolic extracts, were determined to be 6250, 3125, and 6250μg/ml, respectively, and MFC of these three extracts, were determined 12500, 6250, and 12500μg/ml, respectively. In the MIC and MFC method, ethanolic extracts had higher antifungal activity.
