摘      要：Objective:To evaluate the antifungal activity of four honeys of different types from Algeria against pathogenic yeast *** albicans(***) and Rhoddtorula ***:Four Algeria honeys of different botanical origin were analvzed to test anlilungal effect against ***,and Rhodotorula *** concentrations(undiluted,10%,30%,50%and 70%w/v) of honey were studied in vitro for their antifugal aclivity using *** and Rhodotorula *** fungal ***:The range of the c liameter of zone of inhibition of various concentrations ol tested honeys was(7-23 mm) for Rhodotorula sp.,while *** showed clearly resistance towards all concentrations *** MICs of tested honey concentrations against *** and Rhodotorula ***(70.09-93.48)%and(4.90-99.70)%v/v,***:This study demonstrales that,in vitro,these natural products have clearly an antifungal activity against Rhodotorula *** ***.
