Abstract

Invitro sporostatic effect of fresh milk from four different origin was tested against five otomycoitc pathogens. Maximum sporostatic activity was recorded in cow milk against Aspergillusniger (82.31%) followed by Candidaalbicans (78.95%), Aspergillus flavus (76.00%), Pencillium nigricans (64.40%) and Absidia corymbifera (63.53%). Goat milk caused 87.06 per cent inhibition in the spore germination of Absidia corymibifera. In all other cases a varied effect of test milk samples was noted against present test fungi.

Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
