摘要: Summary Essential oils from many plants are known to possess antifungal activity, but only limited information exists about activity towards human and animal fungal pathogens. The in vitro sensitivity of nine clinical isolates Trichophyton equinum tea tree oil (TTO) was evaluated by a microdilution test. As the quality chemical composition commercial essential Melaleuca alternifolia extremely variable, all samples were analyzed gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) before being used for assays. All showed minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) 2.5%, 4% yielded fungicidal effect. Compared other results reported literature, present findings indicate lesser susceptibility T. equinum, TTO. This fact could be explained different testing conditions, namely medium diluent employed.
