Method: This experimental laboratory research was designed with posttest only control group with agar/Kirby Bauer diffusion method, carried out with 4 repetitions by treated extract with 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% concentration, positive control (ketoconazole) and negative controls (distilled water). Results: Krusskal Wallis test showed p value = 0.000 (p <0.05),means Moringa seed extract with concentrations 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% had a significant effect on inhibiting the growth of C.albicans.
