All the tested microorganisms were sensitive to the essential oil in the in vitro antifungal study and this activity was concentration-dependent (Table 2). MIC values varied from 0.25 to 2 mg/mL with C. glabrata and C. guilliermondi (MIC = 0.25 mg/mL) being the most sensitive while C. albicans ATCC 2091(MIC = 2 mg/mL) was the most resistant. C. glabrata presented the smallest MFC (0.25 mg/mL). However, this in vitro antifungal activity was lower than that of nystatin used as reference antifungal agent
