Potential fungistatic and fungicidal activity of essential oils in dermatomycosis
Objectives: The aimed to evaluate the fungistatic and fungicidal activity ofessential oils (EOs), against fungi that cause dermatomycosis. Design: The study design was experimental, with in vitro tests, with a control group and treatments. Setting: Fungal species Trichophyton rubrum ATCC MYA 4438, T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale ATCC MYA 4439, Candida albicans ATCC 14053, and C. parapsilosis ATCC 22019, in addition to clinical samples of Fusarium spp., Scytalidium spp., and T. mentagrophytes were used in this study.
