Composition and antimicrobial activity of essential oils from aromatic plants used in Brazil

Abstract: Essential oils from aerial parts of Mentha piperita, M. spicata, Thymus vulgaris, Origanum vulgare, O. applii, Aloysia triphylla, Ocimum gratissimum, O. basilicum were obtained by steam destillation using a Clevenger-type system. These oils were screened for antibacterial and anti-Candida albicans activity using bioautographic method. Subsequently, minimal inhibitory concentration from oils was determined by microdilution method. Most essential oil studied were effective against Enterococcus faecium and Salmon… Show more

“…A planta apresenta inúmeros compostos, sendo o eugenol o composto majoritário (Ueda-Nakamura et al, 2006;Sartoratto et al, 2004;Lorenzi & Matos, 2002;Ilori et al, 1996).…”

“…Estes compostos podem ser responsáveis por atributos carcinogênicos, teratogênicos e também apresentar toxicidade residual (Moreira et al, 2005). Outro fator relevante para a busca por conservantes naturais é que muitos microrganismos patogênicos adquirem resistência aos antibióticos, havendo a necessidade de serem substituídos por produtos de origem natural (Sartoratto et al, 2004). Estudos vêm sendo realizados para avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana e antifúngica de plantas medicinais (Chah et al, 2006;Faria et al, 2006).…”
