Preparation of Inoculum

Four to five colonies of standard *C. albicans* strains were selected and suspended in normal saline (2 mL) and mixed vigorously. The turbidity of the fungal suspension was maintained homogeneously by the use of the 0.6-meq McFarland standards. Thereafter, streaks were made on the Sabouraud dextrose agar plate by dipping a sterile swab into the prepared fungal suspension to get the lawn culture.
