This study aims to evaluate the antifungal activity of Mentha spicata L. and Mentha pulegium L. from Sardinia and to assess their efficacy on virulence factors for Candida albicans , particularly on the inhibition of the germ tube formation. The major compounds of the essential oils were carvone (62.9%) for M. spicata and pulegone (86.2%) for M. pulegium . The essential oil from M. spicata showed a more preeminent effect against Cryptococcus neoformans and the dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum and T. verrucosum (0.32 μL/mL). Both oils were very effective in inhibiting C. albicans germ tube formation, at doses well below their MIC (0.16 μL/mL).
