dc.description.abstract Opportunistic infections with Candida species are becoming more problematic, considering their increasing virulence and resistance to antifungal drugs. Aim: To assess the antifungal and anti-virulence activity of basil, cinnamon, clove, melaleuca, oregano and thyme essential oils (EOs) on five Candida species (C. albicans, C. auris, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis and C. guillermondii). Methods: The MIC, growth rate, antibiofilm activity, regulation of gene expression (ALS3, SAP2, HSP70) and germ-tube formation were evaluated by specific methods. Results: Most EOs inhibited Candida species growth and reduced the expression of some virulence factors. Cinnamon and clove EO showed the most significant inhibitory effects. Conclusions: The tested EOs are promising agents for facilitating the management of some Candida infections. en_US
