Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the antifungal activity of $SeO_2$ against pathogenic fungus, Candida albicans. Concentration-dependent Inhibitory activity of $SeO_2$ against C. albicans was shown. When $400{\mu}g/disc$ of $SeO_2$ was tested, the inhibition size ranged from 20.7 to 26.8 mm (avg. 23.4 mm). MIC values of $SeO_2$ against cell growth of C. albicans ranged from 50 to $100{\mu}g/mL$ (avg. $70{\mu}g/mL$). These results could be applied to antibiotics-resistant C. albicans and other pathogenic fungi.
