Anti-Candidal Activity of the Parasitic Plant <i>Orobanche crenata</i> Forssk
<i>Candida albicans</i> (<i>C. albicans</i>) and <i>Candida glabrata</i> (<i>C. glabrata</i>) are part of the human microbiome. However, they possess numerous virulence factors, which confer them the ability to cause both local and systemic infections....
