### Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentrations (MFC)  
The antifungal activity was determined in a buffered to pH 7.0 RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 2% glucose, which is recommended by CISI for determining the activity of antifungal agents. The composition of this medium corresponds to the physiological conditions in the host's organism (human or animals). Our preliminary research of the antifungal potential of a set of 37 essential oils revealed that oils isolated from _Thymus vulgaris_, _Citrus limonium_, _Pelargonium graroelens_, _Cinnamoun kasia_, _Ocinum basilicum_, and _Eugenia carophyllus_ exhibited the highest activity [15]. Herein we evaluated their effectiveness against the group of 183 clinical isolates of _C. albicans_ and 76 clinical isolates of _C. glabrata_ (Tables 1-4). Moreover, we determined the chemical composition of all of these products. \begin{table}
