The aim of study was to evaluate anti-Candida activity of G.glabra against vulvovaginal isolates of Candida. Minimal inhibitory concentration of the methanolic and ethanolic extracts was respectively 2% and <2%.MeanMICs of ethanolic extract diluted withDW, ethanol and DMSO were respectively 10 mg/ml, 625g/ml and 312g/ml.
