The teacher (Mr. Sarab Fadel Hussein) from the Department of Life Sciences obtained a doctorate from the College of Education for Pure Sciences / University of Karbala for her thesis entitled (Study of the effect of extracts of some medicinal plants in their natural and nanoforms in inhibiting the growth of some Candida). The aim of the thesis was to find out the best effect of one of the plant extracts of five medicinal plants in its natural form, then convert it to the nanoform and compare the two effects against some types of candida. The thesis also included the superiority of the alcoholic extract of licorice roots over other plants in inhibiting the types of candida that infect the vagina, and the preparation of a hybrid nano-extract from the roots of the licorice plant, as well as the efficiency of the hybrid nano-extract in inhibiting all types of candida at all concentrations. The researcher achieved a study of the types of fungi isolated from other areas such as the mouth, pharynx, and others, and studied the effect of the prepared nano-extract on virulence factors, and studied the toxicity of the prepared nano-extract. The teaching position received an excellent grade.
