Comparing the effect of Thymus spp. essential oils on Candida auris

Candida auris is an emergent yeast pathogen responsible for many invasive fungal infections due to its multidrug-resistant character and its huge transmission ability. Essential oils (EOs) obtained from several aromatic plants have been regarded as an alternative treatment upon to fungal infections. For example, Thymus spp. are known by their antifungal effect due to the presence of some volatile compounds in their EOs, such as carvacrol, thymol, linalool and γ-terpinene. So, the main goal of this work was to compare the effect of several EOs from Thymus spp. on C. auris biofilm.
