Fungal infection is a common disease caused by an overgrowth of fungus.
In other words, it is the condition in which the immune system that protects the body against microorganisms has been overwhelming by the overgrowth of fungus.
Candida albicans are members of a large group of microorganisms whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeasts, fungi, and molds that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Candida albicans that does not cause harmful effects, but overgrowth results in candidiasis. Non-albicans Candida (NAC) species cause 35-65% of all candidaemias in the general patient population.
According to the joint study, in many cases, biofilm (microorganisms with cells stick to each other on a surface) formation gene mutations are often associated with increased Candida resistance toward antifungal agents.
Infectious diseases are a medical condition caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.
Most cases of infectious diseases are contagious by spreading directly or indirectly, from one person to another.
In other words, if you kiss, or are coughed or sneezed on by an infectious person, you are at risk of developing the same infectious disease.
According to the statistic provided by the World Health Organization, 3 infectious diseases were ranked in the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2016.
More precisely, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis induced 3.0 million, 1.4 million, and 1.3 million deaths, respectively.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
On finding a potent compound that processes the infectious diseases, researchers examined the effects of withanamides in W. somnifera anti-fungal activity on Candida albicans (C. albicans).
The study included 9 vaginal samples collected using the sterile swap and Falcon tube by the gynecological specialists.
Based on the results of the tested analysis, withanamides incubated with C. Albicans showed a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against C. Albicans, equivalent to 50 ppm to 250 ppm.
In other words, withanamides extract isolated from W. somnifera exhibited strong activity against infectious disease caused by C. Albicans.
After taking into account of con and cofounders, researchers wrote, "The results of this study showed that the antifungal activity of wind cheese against C. Albicans is good, so it can be used as a drug to treat infections caused by C. Albicans".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha processes abundantly withanamides may be considered a functional herb for the treatment of infectious diseases associated with C. Albicans, pending to the result of larger sample size and multicenter study
