Abstract

Candida albicans is human commensal yeast that colonizes the gastrointestinal tract in over half of healthy individuals. Candida are almost universal in low numbers on healthy adult skin and C. albicans is part of the normal flora of the mucous membranes of the respiratory, gastrointestinal and female genital tracts. The present study was carried out to determine their antimicrobial and antagonistic effect against the Candida albicans. The Lactic Acid Bacillus (LAB) strain was isolated from the commercially available probiotic product Nutrolin-B-Plus and tested for their antimicrobial activity against C. albicans. Result showed presence of antimicrobial activity among the strain isolated from the products Nutron-B-Plus with varied spectrum of antagonism.
