The present study has been conducted in the biology laboratory of Bukavu Teacher Training College (Institut Supérieur Pédagogique de Bukavu), in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is intended to check the assumed antifungal properties of Allium sativum extracts, given that its commonplace use in the fight against human mycoses. Therefore, various aqueous extract concentrations of the above mentioned species have been tested on the air mold cultivated on Sabouraud agar to get reliable scientific data. The results showed that these extracts inhibit altogether the development of molds from 50% mass concentration. These antifungal properties proved experimentally would be taken advantage of to take up the main challenge related to the prevalence of several cases of mycoses, the rarefaction of antifungal products, and the destruction of farm products by fungi and their infection by mycotoxins.
Author Keywords: Allium sativum, mycoses, mycotoxins, molds.

Abstract

Therefore, various aqueous extract concentrations of the above mentioned species have been tested on the air mold cultivated on Sabouraud agar to get reliable scientific data.

Abstract: (french)
Cette étude a été menée au laboratoire de biologie de l’Institut Supérieur Pédagogique de Bukavu, en République Démocratique du Congo, afin de vérifier les propriétés antifongiques présumées des extraits de Allium sativum, étant donné son usage vulgaire dans la lutte contre certaines mycoses humaines. Pour ce faire, différentes concentrations des extraits aqueux de l’espèce précitée ont été testées sur les moisissures de l’air, cultivées sur la gélose de Sabouraud, pour obtenir des données scientifiques fiables. Les résultats obtenus ont démontré que ces extraits inhibent complètement le développement des moisissures à partir de 50% de concentration en masse. Ces propriétés antifongiques expérimentalement prouvées pourraient être mises à profit pour relever le défi majeur relatif à la prévalence de plusieurs cas de mycoses, la raréfaction des produits antifongiques, la destruction des produits agricoles par les champignons et leur contamination par des mycotoxines.
