Infections are ordinarily caused by viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Several human pathogenic fungi involving Aspergillus flavus, Candida<br />albicans, and Microsporum gypseum have responsible against infectious diseases. The objective of the research was to evaluate the antifungal activity<br />of kombucha tea against human pathogenic fungi such as A. flavus, C. albicans, and M. gypseum.<br /><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> The antifungal activity of the kombucha tea against A. flavus, C. albicans, and M. gypseum were tested by disc diffusion method with duration<br />of fermentation in 6, 12, and 18 days.<br /><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Based on the present study, inhibitory diameter of A. flavus, C. albicans, and M. gypseum are 16.83, 15.36, and 25.06 mm, respectively. The<br />inhibitory diameter was obtained from kombucha tea activity with duration of fermentation in 6 days.<br /><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The results provide support for the use of kombucha tea as a potential antifungal source against human pathogenic fungi involving<br />A. flavus, C. albicans, and M. gypseum.<br /><strong><br />Keywords:</strong> Antifungal, Kombucha tea, Pathogenic, Fungi.</p>}, number={5}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research}, author={Yuniarto, Ari and Anggadiredja, Kusnandar and Annisa Nur Aqidah, Riana}, year={2016}, month={Sep.}, pages={253–255} }
