“…Fonseca [11], upon testing the antimicrobial activity of O. vulgare and R. officinalis essential oils against eight P. insidiosum isolates, obtained the best antimicrobial activity with the O. vulgare oil, with MICs similar to those reported by this study. Similarly, Wogiatzi et al [21] demonstrated the Pythium spp. susceptibility to O. vulgare essential oil.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial action of Origanum vulgare, Origanum majorana, Mentha piperita and Rosmarinus officinalis on Pythium insidiosum oomycete zoospores. The antimicrobial activity evaluation was performed by the broth microdilution method according to CSLI M38-A2 documentation adapted to phytopharmaceuticals. Twenty-two P. insidiosum isolates were evaluated, and the minimum inhibitory concentration was determined at 100% growth inhibition. All P. insidiosum isolates evaluated showed a minimum inhibitory concentration ranging from 0.05 to 1.75 mg/mL when O. vulgare oil was used and from 0.11 to 3.5 mg/mL for O. majorana, M. piperita and R. officinalis oils. The results obtained indicate that the essential oils tested showed antimicrobial activity on P. insidiosum, with O. vulgare essential oil showing the best performance. These findings emphasize the potential use of plant essential oils as control agents in P. insidiosum infections; further research, however, is needed so as the in vivo activity of these oils can also be evaluated.

“…Essential oils of Greek oregano at the applied dose of 4ml/Petri plate significantly inhibited the growth of Pythium spp., Verticillium dahliae, F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and Sclerotina sclerotiorum isolated from infected tomato plants (Wogiatzi et al, 2009). At a concentration of 0.25 mL/100 mL after 10 days of incubation oregano oil completely inhibited the mycelial growth of Aspergillus fumigatus and Paecilomyces variotii (Gumus et al, 2010).…”

“…Many studies showed the inhibitory activity of oregano extracts and essential oils against the growth of many bacteria (Aligiannis, Kalpoutzakis, Mitaku, & Chinou, 2001;Bagamboula, Uyttendaele, & Debevere, 2004;Celikel & Kavas, 2008;Dadalioglu & Evrendilek, 2004;Nostro et al, 2007;Özcan & Erkmen, 2001;Vági, Simándi, Suhajda, & Héthelyi, 2005;Valero & Francés, 2006) and fungi (Baratta, Dorman, Deas, Biondi, & Ruberto, 1998;Bouchura, Achouri, Hassani, & Hmamouchi, 2003;Daouk, Dagher, & Sattout, 1995;Gumus, Sukuru Demirci, Sagdic, & Arici, 2010;Koci c-Tanackov, Dimi c, Tanackov, & Tuco, 2011;Özcan & Erkmen, 2001;Paster, Menasherov, Ravid, & Juven, 1995;Tantaoui-Elaraki Beraoud, 1994;Vági et al, 2005;Viuda-Martos, Ruiz-Navajas, Fernández-López, & Pérez-Álvarez, 2007;Wogiatzi, Gougoulias, Papachatzis, Vagelas, & Chouliaras, 2009). However, there is a limited number of studies related to their effect to mycotoxin production (Basilico & Basilico, 1999;Salmeron, Jordano, & Pozo, 1990;Velluty, Sanchis, Ramos, Egido, & Marin, 2003;Velluty, Sanchis, Ramos, Turon, & Marin, 2004).…”

“…Antimicrobial activity of this species has been attributed mainly to the presence of carvacrol ( 32 ) and thymol ( 89 ) . It is well‐known that aromatic monoterpenes, such as carvacrol ( 32 ) and thymol ( 89 ), and essential oils rich in these components have a broad spectrum of antibacterial and antifungal activity ( Table ) . According to Kotan et al .…”

Origanum onites L., known as Turkish oregano, has great traditional, medicinal, preservative, and commercial importance. It is used for the treatment of several kinds of ailments, such as gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, high cholesterol, leukemia, bronchitis, etc. In this review, traditional use, phytochemistry, and pharmacology of O. onites reported between 1988 and 2014 were discussed. This review was prepared based on literature survey on scientific journals and books from libraries and electronic sources, such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, etc. All databases were searched up to June 2014. Several different classes of terpenoids, triterpene acids, phenolic acids, hydroquinones, flavonoids, hydrocarbons, sterols, pigments, fatty acids, tocopherols, and inorganic compounds were detected mainly in the aerial parts of this plant. Pharmacological studies revealed that extracts obtained from several solvents and individual compounds exhibited antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, insecticidal, anticancer, hepatoprotective, genotoxic, antidiabetic, cholinesterase inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, analgesic activities, etc. O. onites, in general, exhibited remarkable activity potential in almost all test systems. The results of toxicity studies indicated that O. onites did not show any significant toxicity and mutagenicity on Drosophila and Salmonella. Toxicity of the extracts/essential oils and also individual compounds should be evaluated on mammalian cells to ensure their safety. The bioactivity of individual compounds aside from terpenoids should also be assessed in detail. Additionally, mode of action for the bioactive compounds should be evaluated to understand the complex pharmacological effects of these phytochemicals.
