Özet

Fungal skin infections are a common and serious global health

issues. Current treatment options have limitations such as the high toxicity of

antifungal agents, the effects of pharmacodynamic-pharmacokinetic mecha-

nisms, and the occurrence of antifungal resistance. Essential oils from various

plants are natural resources that have been used in modern and traditional

medicine for centuries as antifungal and antimicrobial agents. In this study,

gel formulations of tea tree oil, thyme oil and clove essential oils were pre-

pared and their antifungal activities on T. rubrum, M. canis, and C. albicans

strains causing skin fungal infections were investigated comparatively.
