Results of the evaluation of the anti-Candida albicans activity of Sloanea-extract-based gels.
| Gel, Final Concentration Evaluated (%) | GM-CFU/mL a | Growth Inhibition (%) |
|---|---|---|
| S. medusula gel (0.15) | 1260 * | 98 |
| S. medusula gel (0.30) | 18,110 * | 73 |
| S. calva gel (0.15) | 36,617 * | 46 |
| S. calva gel (0.30) | 16,080 * | 76 |
| Base gel b | 67,824 | 0 |
a Data are the geometric mean of colony-forming units per milliliter (n = 3). b The base gel was used as a positive control (growth control of C. albicans). The comparisons of results between the different groups were performed statistically using the paired t-test. * Significant difference in inhibitory activity when compared to the control group (p < 0.05).
