Carvacrol Reduces Virulence Traits in Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Candida dubliniensis and Enhances Galleria mellonella Survival During Candidozyma auris Infection

Carvacrol exhibits species-specific effects, acting as an antivirulence modulator in <i>M. guilliermondii</i> and <i>C. dubliniensis</i> and attenuating virulence in vivo in <i>C. auris</i>. These findings support the potential of carvacrol as an adjuvant antifungal strategy, particularly against <i>C. auris</i>, and highlight the relevance of targeting virulence traits to reduce selective pressure and limit antifungal resistance.
