In swine culture, the study of mycology contributes to food security in the understanding of various diseases. A knowledge of fungal agents on the skin of healthy animals and surface pathologies is important for effective control of the potential risks of infection, especially when associated with confined species, where the imbalance in the microbiota of the environment can be crucial in the interactions between environment and animals. The objective was to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of essential oil of Rosa alba L. petals on microbial growth of yeasts Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and filamentous fungi that causes opportunistic infectious processes in the skin of pigs, such as Microsporum nanum (ATCC 11832), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (ATCC 9533), Trichophyton rubrum (ATCC 10218) and Trichophyton tonsurans (ATCC 10870). The oils were extracted by the process of hydrodistillation in Clevenger apparatus, using fresh white rose petals. Microbiological tests were performed by the agar diffusion method (pour-plate) with Sabouraud-dextrose. Wells 5 mm in diameter, produced in the agar, were filled with 15 μL of essential oil and the plates containing filamentous fungi were incubated in an inverted position at 28 °C for 10 days and the plates containing yeast were incubated at 30 °C for 48 hours. After this time, the inhibition circles were measured. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and means were compared by Tukey`s test at 5% probability. It was found that the activity of essential oil under study is significant in relation to the growth of microbial species tested.
