“…This high resistance among Gram-negative bacteria is due to the difference in the cell membrane of this bacterial group. The external membrane of Gram-negative bacteria renders their surfaces highly hydrophilic, whereas the lipophilic ends of the lipoteichoic acids of the membrane of Gram-positive bacteria may facilitate penetration by hydrophobic compounds [18]. These results reported here, confirm the importance of the correlation between the chemical content of the oils and the antibacterial activities.…”

The essential oil was extracted from the seeds of Heracleum rigens by hydrodistillation and a total of twenty compounds accounting for 98.5% of the total oil composition were identified. Physicochemical properties and chemical composition of the oil was determined by a combination GC/FID and GC/MS analysis. The major compounds identified were bornyl acetate (51.2%), α-pinene (22.6%), limonene (9.62%), octyl acetate (3.94%), p-cymene (2.85%) and γ-terpinene (1.93%). The antimicrobial activity of the oil was screened by the disc diffusion method against nine pathogenic bacterial strains. Maximum antimicrobial activity was noted against Klebsiella pneumonia and Bacillus subtillis. This investigation corroborates the traditional claim of H. rigens as an effective antimicrobial agent.

“…The GC-MS analysis of the C. pumilio chloroform aerial part extract reported hydrocarbons as the most abundant constituents and showed antibacterial activity against the clinical and MDR pathogens [37][38][39][40][41]. Pentadecane and heptadecane are the major hydrocarbons and these have been reported for their antimicrobial activity [39][40][41].…”

Background: In the context of searching for potent, safe, natural antimicrobial agents to combate the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenomenon, the current study evaluates for the first time ever, the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of essential oil (EO) and extracts from the rare wild plant Centaurea pumilio L.. It has tremendous ethnomedicinal values; its dried root is used as a fattening agent, a treatment for bad breath and diabetes, and screened for schistosomicidal activity. Methods: C. pumilio EO was extracted by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus. Chemical constituents of aerial part were extracted using a sequential solvent/solvent procedure employing four solvents with increasing polarities in the following order: petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The chemical constituents were identified by GC-MS. Fifty-two microbial strains were used; twenty-six multidrug resistant (MDR), sixteen clinical, and ten reference strains. The identification of the microbial strains was performed by MALDI-TOF-MS. The antimicrobial activity of the EO and the aerial part and the root extracts was assessed through disc diffusion assay. A minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the EO and extracts was determined using the broth micro-dilution method. Results: The growth of reference and clinical strains was inhibited by EO, methanol, chloroform, and ethyl acetate aerial part extracts and chloroform root extract. The MDR strains growth, however, was inhibited only by EO and chloroform aerial part extract. GC-MS identified for the first time eighteen constituents from aerial part EO and chloroform extract each. EO showed antimicrobial activity against the reference, clinical, and MDR strains with MIC values of 31.25-125, 31.25-125, and 62.50-250 μg/mL, respectively. Methanol aerial part extract exhibited high antimicrobial activities with MIC values of 62.50-250 μg/mL against reference and clinical strains. Chloroform root extract displayed strong antimicrobial activity against reference and clinical strains recording MIC values of 62.50-250 μg/mL and 62.50-125 μg/mL, respectively. The chloroform aerial part extract demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against the reference, clinical, and MDR strains with 31.25, 31.25, and 15.62 μg/mL MIC values, respectively.

“…For instance, oil derived from the overground parts of Mantisalca duriaei Briq. Et Cavill with farnesyl acetate as a dominant compound is characterised by interesting antibacterial activity (Boussaada et al, 2009), likewise the oil from Alpinia pahangensis Ridl rhizome, with farnesyl acetate as a major component as well (Awang et al, 2011). It is necessary underline that in the case the two Arnica spp.…”
