Abstract

The fungicidal activity of KU herbal-extract lotions was assessed using a broth-dilution method with test tubes containing clinically-isolated Malassezia pachydermatitis (1.9X107 colonies/ml). The lotions tested were: KU Natural Miticide® and KU herbfungusmite® (crude-extract lotions of Annona squamosa L.); KU herbmalacide® and KU Takaikaeng® (crude-extract lotions of Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.); KU Takaihom® (crude-extract lotion of Cymbopogon nardus Rendle); KU Thongphanchang® (crude-extract lotion of Rhinacanthus nasutus Kurz.); and KU Plu® (crude-extract lotion of Piper betel). Each test tube sample was shaken for 10 seconds and then subcultured onto slant potato dextrose agar. There was a complete absence of yeast growth on the subcultures from the KU herbal-extract lotions, which indicated that these lotions might act as an effective, commercial fungicide treatment against M. pachydermatitis.
