The oral thrush caused by the cosmopolitan yeast Candida albicans causes pale white cottony patches in the oral regions especially among the Immuno deficient patients. The elderly patients with the diabetes were the main victims of the yeast thrush. The objective of our investigation is to collect the clinical thrush samples from the targeted elderly patients with type 2 diabetes between the age group of 58 to 75 and determine the antifungal activities of Salvia jordanii by employing the standard microbiological technique. The results procured were excellent for the antifungal susceptibility analysis of all five types of S. jordanii essential oil extracts. The MIC and MFC values of the extracts from the Jordanian, Syrian and Moroccan origin shown the same values, whereas the Libyan and Egyptian extract shown the slightly higher values. The nature blessed essential oil extracts got the potential to combat infections as well as to treat the oral thrush. These findings indicate that S. jordanii displays adequate activity against cosmopolitan yeast C. albicans in vitro & its merits. Further analysis to treat yeast associated diseases.

The present study showcases the efficacy of Cinnamomum tamala (C. tamala) as a potential antimicrobial substance against the multi-drug resistant Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) bacterium. The one of the most vulnerable bacteria to this spice was E. faecalis but due to lack of authentic evidences the treatment with this spice was diminished and used as a culinary spice till date to provide flavor without knowing its medicinal values which has given rise to the discovery of synthetic chemical antibiotics to treat these infections. This is an attempt to resurrect the ancient phyto-pharmaceutic techniques for combating the pathogenic bacteria as our time with the synthetic chemical antibiotic drug is draining out which gives rise to the multi-drug bacteria which becomes difficult to be treated. These types of natural resources is an alternate for the toxic synthetic chemicals with zero side effects. Enterococcus faecalis clinical isolate from the different samples showed the best susceptibility with the essential oil extract determined by the Kirby Bauer Disc Diffussion technique with satisfactory MIC and MBC results. The results obtained for the antibacterial properties of Cinnamomum tamala dried leaves essential oil extract recorded were excemplary from the performed standard antibiotic assay which determines that the efficacy of the natural essential oil proved to be an excellent alternative to treat infectious bacterial diseases.
