Anmar Saeed Hashim , Fadhil Sami Zghair
Abstract
Many types of fungi have the ability to cause candidiasis, and these fungi live naturally on the skin and mucous
membranes as well as on the digestive system, where they colonize the mentioned places for all humans immediately
after birth, and one of the common causes is Candida albicans that causes diaper rash in newborns.100 samples were
collected from different clinical cases, (100 skin swabs from children with diaper rash who were lying in the halls of
the Karbala Teaching Hospital for Children) To diagnosis of candida causing diaper rash and study of its sensitivity to
natural products The result was of phenotypic and biochemical tests of the isolated samples showed that (76%)
isolates belong to the yeast Candida albicans. As a result of the resistance of fungi against chemical antifungal, it was
important to search for more effective natural alternatives. The alcoholic extract of natural products showed a great
and high ability to inhibit all isolates in comparison with common chemical antifungals
