title: [Antifungal activity of aromatic essential oils (author's transl)].
abstract: "Paragerm" is commonly used in hospitals where its bactericide action is well known. Preliminary tests have been carried out in the laboratory in order to study the antifungal power of this product. Variation of the different concentrations in the culture medium, variation of the time of contact between "Paragerm" and the fungus and both the mechanical and chemical effects of the product have shown that, among the species selected, certain were more sensitive and others more resistant to this solution and that, in our experimentation, "Paragerm" had a fungistatic effect.
