Although considerable progress has been made in antifungal research, the specific mechanisms underlying drug resistance in C. auris remain incompletely understood. To overcome this problem, natural compounds can be used as valuable alternatives. The present study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of NEO against C. auris and to understand the functional mechanisms underlying its antifungal activity. Methods: The antifungal activity of NEO against C. auris strain CBS10913T was examined using broth microdilution and spot assays to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC). Mechanistic investigations were performed using phenotypic-, biochemical-, and fluorescence-based assays to evaluate its effects on cell wall integrity, membrane permeability, efflux pump activity, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, biofilm formation, and host cell adherence. Hemolytic assays were performed to evaluate preliminary biocompatibility. Results: During our study, we found that NEO showed strong fungicidal activity against C. auris, with an MIC of 500 \u00b5g\/mL and an MFC of 650 \u00b5g\/mL, and disrupted fungal cell wall integrity, significantly reduced ergosterol content, and inhibited efflux pump activity, leading to increased accumulation of fluorescent substrates. NEO induced increased intracellular reactive oxygen species, leading to oxidative-mediated lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Moreover, NEO also suppressed stress biofilm formation, reduced metabolic activity, and decreased adherence to buccal epithelial cells, and it showed negligible hemolytic activity up to 2\u00d7 MIC, indicating preliminary biocompatibility. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that NEO utilizes broad antifungal activity through multiple functional and phenotypic mechanisms, including disruption of membrane integrity, inhibition of efflux pump, induction of oxidative stress, and suppression of biofilm formation. Although the direct effects on pathogenicity-related genes or proteins were not studied, the findings still show NEO as a promising natural antifungal agent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ph19020233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]],"date-time":"2026-01-29T10:56:34Z","timestamp":1769684194000},"page":"233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Unmasking the Fungicidal Potency and Multifaceted Mechanisms of Nutmeg Essential Oil Against Candida auris"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Akriti","family":"Gaurav","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University Haryana, Manesar, Gurugram 122413, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6477-1870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saif","family":"Hameed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University Haryana, Manesar, Gurugram 122413, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suhailah S.","family":"Aljameel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Science, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam 31441, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Basic and Applied Scientific Research Center, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam 31441, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3087-852X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suriya","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemic Diseases Research, Institute for Research and Medical Consultation (IRMC), Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam 31441, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"In\u00e8s","family":"Hammami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam 31441, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Basic and Applied Scientific Research Center, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam 31441, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8123-4743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wissem","family":"Mnif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Science, University of Bisha, Bisha 61922, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8926-162X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zainab S.","family":"Alghamdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Science, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam 31441, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Environmental and Sustainable Unit, Basic and Applied Scientific Research Center (BASRC), Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam 31441, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeeshan","family":"Fatima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University Haryana, Manesar, Gurugram 122413, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-med-061523-021233","article-title":"Candida auris: Epidemiology and antifungal strategy","volume":"76","author":"Eix","year":"2025","journal-title":"Annu.
