Our results demonstrate that the methanolic extract of scapes from S.nitens is a natural product with antifungal properties against several species of Candida in our collection and those species recovered from VVC patients Additionally advantages of the extract were its ability to inhibit a key step of fungal-host invasion and its innocuous effects on human cells
Finally we also provide robust evldence about the in vivo effects of S.nitens extract in the treatment of VVC in an animal model
