“…Its interaction with the membrane affects the permeability and results in the release of ATP and K + ions [106]. Based on its MIC (0.05-0.9 mg/mL), MBC (0.2-1.9 mg/mL), and zone of inhibition (13.5-43.8 mm), thymol is highly effective against isolates from mastitis cows [74][75][76]97]. These studies confirm the importance of thymol within the essential oils for the antibacterial properties of the genus Thymus.…”

“…The presence of different aromatic, phenolic, and flavonoid compounds are also considered the main reason for the significant antioxidant potential of these plants [99]. Thymol and carvacrol exhibited additive interactions against Gram-negative bacteria and C. albicans [75], while the combination with tilmicosin had an addictive effect against Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and E. coli [97].…”

Plant Essential Oils as a Tool in the Control of Bovine Mastitis: An Update

Bovine mastitis is a major concern for the dairy cattle community worldwide. Mastitis, subclinical or clinical, can be caused by contagious or environmental pathogens. Costs related to mastitis include direct and indirect losses, leading to global annual losses of USD 35 billion. The primary treatment of mastitis is represented by antibiotics, even if that results in the presence of residues in milk. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in livestock is contributing to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), resulting in a limited resolution of mastitis treatments, as well as a serious threat for public health. Novel alternatives, like the use of plant essential oils (EOs), are needed to replace antibiotic therapy when facing multidrug-resistant bacteria. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the in vitro and in vivo studies available on EOs and their main components as an antibacterial treatment against a variety of mastitis causing pathogens. There are many in vitro studies, but only several in vivo. Given the promising results of treatments with EOs, further clinical trials are needed.
