The present study evaluated the pathogenic fungi present in cottage cheeses. All the 8 type of cheese were collected form Puducherry, India cottage cheese whole sale area. All the samples were serially diluted and get into the plate for the fungal growth. The isolated fungal colonies were confirmed using Lacto phenol cotton blue staining method. The isolated fungal strains were properly maintained for further studies. The isolated funguses are confirmed using DNA isolation method and BLAST sequence editing. The isolated 4 fungal stains are treated against the commonly available antifungal agent namely Clotrimazole, Miconazole, Econazole, Ternbinofine, Fluconazole, ketoconazole. In those antifungal agents Clotrimazole, Miconazole shows the greater zone of inhibition on isolated 4 fungi. Aim of this study is to reveal about some unhealthy cottage cheeses.
