Antifungal Activity of Bulgarian Rose Damascena Oil against Vaginitis-Causing Opportunistic Fungi

Figure 3

The MIC and MFC of Bulgarian rose damascena oil against Candida species. (a) Candida species were cultured in the PDA liquid medium containing the indicated concentrations of Bulgarian rose damascena oil for 24 h and the absorbance of microtiter plates was measured at 600 nm (top panel). (b) MFC determination with replica plate of all the wells lacking fungal growth. The MFC was determined as the lowest concentration of Bulgarian rose damascena oil at which no visible colony formation was detected (bottom panel).
