This study was conducted in vitro to test the effect of Peptone as one of the protein-rich materials, on the antifungal activity of Povidone Iodine. The Povidone Iodine was tested against two fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus) cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar medium which contains peptone, and Potato Dextrose Agar medium as a negative control with the Agar well diffusion method, and the diameters of the inhibitory zones were measured in millimeters. The Povidone Iodine antifungal activity was deactivated against fungi cultured on SDA (C. albicans= 0 mm, A. flavus= 0 mm) while it had maintained its antifungal activity on PDA (C. albicans= 15 mm, A. flavus= 5 mm). In conclusion, this in vitro study demonstrated that Peptone can deactivate the antifungal activity of Povidone Iodine.
