Online published on 9 November, 2023. Abstract Candida albicans, a prominent fungal pathogen, poses a significant threat to human health, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The rise of drug-resistant strains has underscored the need for alternative antimicrobial agents. Essential oils derived from aromatic plants have gained attention for their potential antimicrobial properties. This study explores the antimicrobial activity of Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil (EO) against Candida albicans. The EO was tested against Candida albicans strains through various in vitro assays, including Zone of inhibition (ZOI), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), Our findings revealed that Eucalyptus Globulus EO exhibited potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans. In conclusion, this study highlights the significant antimicrobial potential of Eucalyptus globulus essential oil against C. albicans. These findings emphasize the importance of further research to harness the therapeutic potential of essential oils in combatting fungal infections. Eucalyptus Essential Oil has gained attention due to its potential antimicrobial properties, including antifungal activity. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Eucalyptus EO at different concentrations against C. albicans Top Keywords Candida albicans, Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus, Anti-microbial assay.
