摘要: Among the relevant mycoses in public health, one that stands out is candidiasis, an opportunistic infection affects humans and animals.

Therefore, research has been undertaken aimed at finding bioactive substances from plants fight against Candida. Thus, objective of this work gather databases SciELO ScienceDirect with information between years 2005 2013 concerning anti-Candida activity different plant extracts. A total 78 families 208 species Candida spp. found highlighting Asteraceae, Geraniaceae, Myrtaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Rubiaceae, Verbenaceae Anacardiaceae families, dichloromethane, aqueous, ethanol methanol extracts fractions subfractions, being leaf most used part. described showed activity, some require very high concentrations little growth inhibition / elimination these yeasts, variations related mainly method assessment, type extract, parts origin fungal isolates. rarity studies isolates animals, clinical cases, draws attention. Finally, we highlight Asteraceae Geraniaceae which had greater number may be source
