Antimicrobial activity of essential oils against foodborne multidrug-resistant enterococci and aeromonads in planktonic and biofilm state
Quendera AP, Barreto AS, Semedo-lemsaddek T Food Science and Technology International, 2018 ABSTRACT: The selection and use of natural compounds with antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens is of major importance. The present study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of commercial essential oils against multidrug-resistant Enterococcus spp. and Aeromonas spp. Cymbopogon flexuosus and Thymus vulgaris essential oils… Read more »
Antibiofilm activity of nanoemulsions of Cymbopogon flexuosus against rapidly growing mycobacteria
Rossi GG, Guterres KB, Bonez PC, da Silva Gundel S, Aggertt VA, Siqueira FS, Ourique AF, Wagnerd R, Klein B, Santos RCV, de Campos MMA Microbial Pathogenesis, 2017 ABSTRACT: Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are opportunistic microorganisms that can cause both local and disseminated infections. When in biofilm, these pathogens become highly resistant to antimicrobials used… Read more »
In Vitro Efficacy of Essential Oil Mouthrinse versus Dentifrices
Serbiak B, Fourre T, Geonnotti AR, Gambogi RJ Journal of Dentistry, 2017 OBJECTIVES: To compare the antimicrobial efficacy and kill penetration of essential oils (EO) mouthrinse versus stannous fluoride, and triclosan dentifrice slurries on saliva-derived biofilms using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). METHODS: Saliva-derived biofilms were grown for 48hours on hydroxyapatite discs using pooled, homogenized… Read more »
