Abstract: Objective To investigate in vitro effects of Extracts of Juglans on C.albicans biofilms.Methods XTT reduction assay was performed to determine the effect of Extracts of Juglans on C.albicans biofilms and its adherence. The effect of Extracts of Juglans on morphogenesis of C.albicans biofilms was observed by inverted microscopy.Results SMIC50, SMIC90 of Extracts of Juglans against C.albicans biofilms was15.2 μg/mL, 23.4 μg/mL, respectively. Extracts of Juglans at the concentration of >20 μg/mL could inhibit the adherence of C.albicans.Extracts of Juglans at t he concentration of 30 μg/mL could inhibit biofilm formation totally.Conclusions Extracts of Juglans shows potential activity ag ainst C.albicans biofilm in the study.
