INTRODUCTION
Infections have been the major cause of disease worst sufferers of infectious diseases. Their sufferings
throughout the history of human population especially have been increased many-fold due to prolonged illness

Seven fungal species were identified from all soil (Cladosporium sp.) with inhibition zone (2.56 ; 2.33)
