The effect of Thymus vulgaris on growth and biofilm formation of uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Abstract: Currently, a problem related to public health is resistance to antibiotics because bacteria have been identified to be resistant. It has been reported that bacteria have developed resistance mechanisms to evade the effect of drugs, especially antibiotics. A resistance mechanism to antibiotics is biofilm formation. The biofilms are microbial communities embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix and are ubiquitous in the microbial world. In recent years, there has been a special interest in studying new anti… Show more

“…Antibiotic overuse can lead to bacterial resistance, resulting in infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, which is a serious increasing issue. (Flores-Encarnación et al, 2018). The global threat of resistance to antibiotics, according to WHO, is going to usher in a post-antibiotic period.…”

“…The essential oil of T. vulgaris has been shown to limit bacterial growth and possesses powerful bactericidal activities, including activity against antibiotic-resistant strains. Also, it has been shown to inhibit bacterial colonization and biofilm development on surfaces by uropathogenic E. coli (Flores-Encarnación, 2018). There are only a few reports on the bactericidal action of T. vulgaris essential oil.…”
