Abstract
In this study 10 pathogenic fungi species of three genus (Aspergillus, Candida & Penicillium ) were collected from different regions of human body and these isolated fungi (79 sample) were treated with fenugreek oil, the results showed that the percentage of sensitive isolates for fenugreek oil are 80% of ear isolates (28/35) , (71.87) of respiratory tract isolates (23/32), 45% of skin isolates (4/9), finally eye and vaginal secretions isolates had sequently 50% (10/20) and 70% (14/20). (Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus) were the most sensitive for fenugreek oil with inhibition zone (16 mm),while (Aspergillus fumigatus and Pencillium sp.) were the less sensitive with inhibition zone (12 mm). The percentage of fenugreek oil activity in cases of Aspergillus genus, showed 85% of respiratory truct isolates are sensitive for fenugreek oil and the less sensitive (33.3%) of skin isolates. The ear isolates were the most sensitive with percentage (88.8%) and the less sensitive (60%) of eye isolates in cases of Candida genus. While the cases of Penicillium genus appeared most sensitivity (83.3%) for fenugreek oil in ear isolates and less sensitivity (40%) in skin isolates.
