Cistus ladanifer L. is a plant widely used in folk medicine to treat various illnesses. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the plant flourishing time harvest on the chemical composition and the antimicrobial effect of its essential oil. Chemical analysis of the essential oil was carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antibacterial and antifungal proprieties were tested against four selected bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Typhi, Escherichia coli, and Acinetobacter baumannii) and nine fungi (Yeasts (Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida dubliniensis, Candida sp., Rhodotorula rubra, Cryptococcus neoformans) and molds (Penicillium sp. (P), Fusarium sp. (F), Aspergillus niger (A. niger)), respectively. The essential oil of C. ladanifer demonstrated a powerful antibacterial activity with an inhibition zone of 55 ± 0.22 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, 42 ± 0.11 mm for Escherichia coli, 35 ± 0.27 mm for Acinetobacter baumannii (Full resistant to antibiotics) and 30 ± 0.25 mm for Salmonella Typhi. It also inhibited all tested bacteria at 10 µL/mL. For the antifungal activity test, C. tropicalis and C. neoformans appeared to be the most sensitive strains to the essential oil with an inhibition zone of 13 mm, followed by R. rubra and Penicillium sp. (12 mm), then C. dubliniensis and C. glabrata (11 mm). The chemical analysis of the essential oil by GC-MS revealed that the major components of the essential oil were viridiflorol (17.64%), pinocarveol (11.02%), bornylacetate (9.38%), and ledol (8.85%). C. ladanifer exhibited a remarkable antimicrobial activity that could be more exploited to develop targeted natural remedies against specific diseases.

The present study was carried out to determine, for the first time, the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of essential oils derived from the aerial parts of three aromatic plants Thymus algeriensis Boiss & Reut, Rosmarinus officinalis L., and Salvia officinalis L. growing under semiarid conditions. The essential oils were chemically analyzed and identified by gas chromatography (GC) and GC/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and their antimicrobial activity was individually evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using both agar disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. The major constituents of Thymus algeriensis essential oil were identified as camphor (13.62%), 1,8-cineol (6.00%), borneol (5.74%), viridiflorol (4.00%), and linalool (3.93%). For Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil, 48 compounds were characterized, of which the main constituents were camphor (17.09%), Z-β-ocimene (10.88%), isoborneol (9.68%), α-bisabolol (7.89%), and borneol (5.11%). While, Salvia officinalis essential oil was characterized by β-thujone (16.44%), followed by viridiflorol (10.93%), camphor (8.99%), 1,8-cineol (8.11%), trans-caryophyllene (5.85%), and α-humulene (4.69%) as the major components. Notably, results from antibacterial screening indicated that Thymus algeriensis and Salvia officinalis essential oils exhibited a strong inhibitory effect against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared to Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. Further, less activity was recorded against Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the three tested essential oils.

Though essential oils exhibit antibacterial activity against food pathogens, their underlying mechanism is understudied. We extracted ginger essential oil (GEO) using supercritical CO2 and steam distillation. A chemical composition comparison by GC-MS showed that the main components of the extracted GEOs were zingiberene and α-curcumene. Their antibacterial activity and associated mechanism against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were investigated. The diameter of inhibition zone (DIZ) of GEO against S. aureus was 17.1 mm, with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of 1.0 mg/mL, and minimum bactericide concentration (MBC) of 2.0 mg/mL. For E. coli, the DIZ was 12.3 mm with MIC and MBC values of 2.0 mg/mL and 4.0 mg/mL, respectively. The SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that some of the electrophoretic bacterial cell proteins bands disappeared with the increase in GEO concentration. Consequently, the nucleic acids content of bacterial suspension was raised significantly and the metabolic activity of bacteria was markedly decreased. GEO could thus inhibit the expression of some genes linked to bacterial energy metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, cell membrane-related proteins, and DNA metabolism. Our findings speculate the bactericidal effects of GEO primarily through disruption of the bacterial cell membrane indicating its suitability in food perseveration.

The study investigated the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil extract of Ocimum gratissimum L. (EOOG) against multiresistant microorganisms in planktonic and biofilm form. Hydrodistillation was used to obtain the EOOG, and the analysis of chemical composition was done by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and flame ionization detection (GC/FID). EOOG biological activity was verified against isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, using four strains for each species. The antibacterial action of EOOG was determined by disk diffusion, microdilution (MIC/MBC), growth curve under sub-MIC exposure, and the combinatorial activity with ciprofloxacin (CIP) and oxacillin (OXA) were determined by checkerboard assay. The EOOG antibiofilm action was performed against the established biofilm and analyzed by crystal violet, colony-forming unit count, and SEM analyses. EOOG yielded 1.66% w/w, with eugenol as the major component (74.83%). The MIC was 1000 µg/mL for the most tested strains. The growth curve showed a lag phase delay for both species, mainly S. aureus, and reduced the growth level of E. coli by half. The combination of EOOG with OXA and CIP led to an additive action for S. aureus. A significant reduction in biofilm biomass and cell viability was verified for S. aureus and E. coli. In conclusion, EOOG has relevant potential as a natural alternative to treat infections caused by multiresistant strains.

The aim of this study was to compare the chemical compositions and biological potentials (antioxidant potentials, ?-glucosidase test and antimicrobial activity) of wild and cultivated blackberry varieties from two different locations. The chemical compositions were evaluated in fresh samples, while the biological potentials were measured in dry blackberry extracts. The highest dry matter (15.73 g/100 g fw) was obtained for wild blackberry from Verici (Bw2). The significantly higher content of sugars (6.07 g/100 g fw) and ascorbic acid (21.36 g/100 g dw) was found in Chester Thornless blackberry (Bc1) comparing to other samples. The wild blackberry from Javorani (Bw1) showed the highest amount of polyphenols, as well as antioxidant potentials on DPPH (184.26 mmol Trolox/kg dw), ABTS (340.26 mmol Trolox/kg dw) and OH (944.03 mmol BHT/kg dw) radicals. The antihyperglycemic potentials of the extracts were determined by the ?-glucosidase test. The cultivated blackberry Cacanka Bestrna (Bc2) showed the stronger inhibition of ?-glucosidase enzyme (?-GIP = 50.69 %) than other varieties (p<0.05). Wild blackberry extracts showed higher antibacterial and antifungal activity towards Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Aspergillus niger. The results presented in this study indicated the differences between wild and cultivated blackberry varieties, as well as mutual differences in chemical composition, polyphenol contents, biological potentials, along with the antimicrobial activity of wild and cultivated blackberry varieties from two different locations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The herbs Carissa spinarum, Physalis minima and Toddalia asiatica have traditionally been used in healing diabetes, malaria and pneumonia by the communities around the Kisii region, Kenya. However in the available literature, there is scanty information on effectiveness of different plant parts of the herbs in healing the ailments. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential antimicrobial and antifungal activity of methanolic extract of whole plant Physalis minima, leaf and root of Carissa spinarum and Toddalia asiatica against gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and fungus Candida albicans (ATCC14053). Antibiotic disc methicillin, cotrimoxazole, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, ampicillin, nalidixic and nitrofurantoin were used in the study. In each herb, plant part was extracted by soaking in methanol/dichloromethane in ratio 1:1 for a week, filtered, concentrated by rotary vapor and cooled. The same process was repeated three times for all samples. The study was conducted by agar well diffusion method. Methanolic root extract of Toddalia asiatica showed highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), root extract of Carissa spinarum had highest antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) while root extract of Toddalia asiatica showed highest antifungal activity. It was concluded that root extract of Toddalia asiatica showed highest antibacterial activity 16.7mm  against Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 25923), root extract of Carissa spinarum had highest antibacterial activity 10 mm  against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922)  while  root extract of Toddalia asiatica had highest antifungal activity 18 mm against Candida albicans.
