Candidiasis involving the biofilms ofis a threat to immunocompromised patients.biofilms are intrinsically resistant to the antifungal drugs and hence novel treatment strategies are desired. The study intended to evaluate the anti-activity of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) alone and with fluconazole (FLC), particularly against the biofilms. Results revealed the concentration-dependent activity of AITC against the planktonic growth and virulence factors of. Significant (<0.05) inhibition of the biofilms was evident at
