“…On comparing data, relatively same results of antifungal efficacies were noticed; Bansod and Rai established different antimycotic activities on screening EOs extracted from fifteen variable medicinal plants against A. fumigatus and A. niger; Chuang et al proved that Moringa oleifera Lam crude extracts and EO has antifungal effect on T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, E. floccosum, and M. canis; Shin and Lim detected a growth inhibition of six Trichophyton spp by some herbal EOs; Brunia et al recorded antifungal activity of Ocotea quixos, Lauraceae EOs against dermatophyte T. mentagrophytes; Adam et al found that EOs of Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum, Mentha spicata, Lavandula angustifolia, and Salvia fruticosa exhibited antifungal activities against Malassezia furfur, T. rubrum, and T. beigelii; Kishore et al screened fungitoxicity of sixteen EOs against T. rubrum and M. gypseum [1,2,7,9,12,13]. They documented that Artemisia nelagirica, Caesulia axillaris, Chenopodium ambrosioides, Cymbopogon citratus and Mentha arvensis showed strong activity.…”

Aim Establish new biocontrol practices with low persistence in the environment against dermatophyte causing mycosis. Methods Antimycotic activity of twenty-six plant-derived commercial essential oils (EOs) was evaluated against four dermatophyte keratinophilic fungi (Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes). Commercial EOs which showed the strongest mycelial growth inhibitions were selected and re-extracted in vitro from fresh plant samples. Minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and antifungal index (AI) of pure and combined extracted oils and were evaluated. All samples were collected and examined during the year of 2014. Results The results revealed that commercial EOs of Prunus armeniaca, Prunus dulcis var. amara, Olea europaea and Mentha piperita were the most potent antidermatophyte. The mixture of the extracted four oils was the strongest fungicides followed by the alternative two-oil combined extractions then pure extracted oils. MIC was at 50, 25 and 12.5 lg/disc for pure oils, two-oil combinations and four-oil mixture, respectively. Achieved values of AI were found variable. Conclusion Using of natural products like plant-derived EOs instead of chemotherapy on pathogens can be regarded as an environmental safety mode of diseases control.

“…DC., Asteraceae partes aéreas secas de M. divaricatum foi 0,10 ± 0,02%, indicando um baixo rendimento o que é comumente observado na maioria das espécies medicinais (Wagner et al,1984). Visando melhorar a qualidade das análises das propriedades antimicrobianas com óleos essenciais, tornou-se comum a utilização de solventes, detergentes, ou agentes emulsificadores dentre eles o tween 80, para facilitar a dispersão dos mesmos no meio de cultura (Bruni et al, 2004). Entretanto podem ocorrer interações do agente emulsificador com a substância teste, bem como o mesmo pode possuir atividade antibacteriana.…”

RESUMO:Melampodium divaricatum (Rich) DC., Asteraceae é uma espécie encontrada na América Latina sendo no Brasil principalmente na região Nordeste. Popularmente vem sendo empregada como antiinflamatória e cicatrizante e dentre vários componentes químicos relatados na literatura, destaca-se a presença de óleos essenciais em suas partes aéreas. Considerando o potencial antimicrobiano in vitro e in vivo de óleos essenciais presentes em muitas plantas e do amplo potencial farmacológico destes, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a atividade antibacteriana do óleo essencial obtido a partir de partes aéreas de M. divaricatum utilizando-se o método de difusão em disco frente às bactérias Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 9372), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Proteus mirabilis (ATCC 25933) e as cepas de campo: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sonnei, Serratia marcescens. De acordo com os resultados obtidos no presente trabalho, apenas as espécies Gram-positivas (S. aureus e B. subtilis) mostraramse sensíveis ao óleo essencial, e as demais espécies testadas não tiveram seu crescimento inibido.Unitermos: Melampodium divaricatum, Asteraceae, óleo essencial, atividade antibacteriana.ABSTRACT: "Antibacterial activity of the essential oil of Melampodium divaricatum (Rich.) DC, Asteraceae". Melampodium divaricatum is a species found in Latin America and in Brazil mainly in the Northeast region. It is popularly used as anti-inflammatory and cicatrizing and among several chemical compounds it can be noteworthy the presence of essential oils in aerial parts. Considering the antimicrobial potential of essential oils in vitro and in vivo as well as its ample pharmacologic potential the objective of this work was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the crude essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of M. divaricatum by the method of disc diffusion against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 9372), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Proteus mirabilis (ATCC 25933), the clinical strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sonnei and Serratia marcescens. Only the gram-positive species S. aureus and B. subtilis showed sensitivity to the essential oil and the other analyzed strains did not have growth inhibited.

Bruni et al (2004) reported the antimicrobial and antifungal activity of OQCO. The assay carried out showed higher MIC values (> 0.12 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus foecalis and Escherichia coli, while results were less efficient against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (0.049 mg/ml).…”
