Plants synthesize a vast array of secondary metabolites that are gaining importance for their biotechnological applications. Methanolic extracts of 22 medicinal plants in Malaysia were tested for their antifungal activities against four species of pathogenicyeasts, namely, Candida albicans, Rhodotorula rubra, Cryptococcus neoformans and Torulopsis glabrata. The extracts studied displayed remarkable and significant antifungal activities against C. albicans, R. rubra and T. glabrata but not against C. neoformans.
