Evaluating the In Vitro Antagonism of Secondary Metabolites Fractionated from the Brown Algae, Sargassum swartzii against Human Candida spp.

Abstract

Objective: To inspect the anticandidal potency of brown algae S. swartzii and GC-MS analysis to delineate its bioactive principles. Methods: The marine brown algae S. swartzii, was extracted and fractionated in organic solvents and quantitatively analyzed for its in vitro anticandidal potency against a battery of five clinically relevant species of Candida.
