Abstract Background: Treatment of Candida infections, increasingly difficult due to antifungal drug resistance has drawn attention toward the search for innovative and effective drugs. Results: Essential oils (EOs) from Drypetes gossweileri (DG) stem bark showed activity with MIC value of 62.5 µg/mL against Candida albicans and Candida parapsilopsis, whereas EOs from Pentadiplandra brazzeana (PB) root exhibited MICs of 125 µg/mL and 250 µg/mL against the respective yeasts. The EOs were fungicidal with synergism on C. parapsilopsis and additivity on C. albicans, with 2 to 64-fold drop in MIC values. The MIC combination of 31.25/7.81 µg/mL and 1.95/31.25 µg/mL (DG/PB EOs) required 20 and 18 hours of exposure, respectively to effectively kill 99.9% of the inoculum, this accompanied by alteration of the cell walls and membranes of yeasts. Conclusion: The potency of the EOs combinations indicates further directions in their investigation as potential anticandidal agents.
