Abstract: HERNANDEZ, SHARLYN MHAY V. and TORRES, AINNAH MARIELLE O. Antifungal Activity of Caesalpinia sappan (Sappan wood) and Samanea saman (Rain tree) Extracts on Candida albicans. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. November 2016. Adviser: Dr. Adelaida E. Sangalang. The study was conducted from May to July 2016 in Department of Biological Sciences- College of Arts and Sciences, Cavite State University, Indang Cavite and De la Salle University- Dasmarinas City, Cavite. Generally, it aimed to determine the effect of the individual and combined antifungal activity of Caesalpinia sappan and Samanea saman extracts to Candida albicans. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the inhibitory effect of C. sappan extracts against C. albicans; determine the inhibitory effect of S. saman extracts against C. albicans; determine the inhibitory effect of the combination of C. sappan and S. saman; and to compare the antifungal activity of the plant extracts with the commercially available antifungal agent. Antifungal susceptibility test was performed through disc diffusion method. The results from the experiment showed that almost all plant part extracts have inhibitory effect against the growth of Candida albicans. All parts of C. sappan plant exhibited antifungal effect. Only the leafextracts ofS. saman showed inhibitory effect against the test organism. Candida albicans was found to be susceptible to combined bark and heartwood aqueous extracts only. The commercially available antifungal agent showed intermediate inhibitory effect against Candida albicans.
