Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
I believe that this manuscript microorganisms-716067, entitled "Methylcellulose hydrogel with Melissa officinalis essential oil as a potential treatment for oral candidiasis” could be recommended as acceptable for publication in the Microorganisms journal.
Reviewer 2 Report
The answers provided by authors seem to be sufficient enough to justify the manuscript publication, a revised version. However, I would advise to enhance further research in future, utilizing various range of microbiological assays.
As Candida spp. oral infections are still a significant problem especially in medically compromised patients, these result may potentially find their clinical application in future.
