Lung moss (Lobaria pulmonaria) contains plant-based compounds with antibiotic and anti-fungal properties. A study from the Shandong University (SDU) tested their efficacy on drug-resistant Candida albicans to identify the most active molecules. The researchers received funding from the National Natural Science Foundation and the SDU’s Young Scholars Program. They published their findings in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines.
The researchers concluded that plant-based compounds in lung moss offered a natural alternative for treating C. albicans and other drug-resistant, disease-causing fungi.
