Özet
The antibacterial activity of essential oils has been recognized for a long time. In the present study, the antibacterial properties of the essential oils from twelve species (Foeniculum vulgare, Juniperus communis, Vitex agnus castus, Eucalyptus globulus, Laurus nobilis, Lovandula angustifolia, Lavandula stoechas, Mentha piperita, Myrtus communis, Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia sp., Thymus sp.) were examined for their capacity to inhibit the growth of five strains of food borne pathogenic microorganism (Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Yersinia enterocolitica). Antibacterial activity of the essential oil samples was determined by the agar diffusion method. Nearly all essential oil samples were effective against the pathogens tested, especially for Staphylococcus aureus. The essential oil sample from Thymus sp. was more effective than the other samples. Respectively Eucalyptus globulus, Laurus nobilis, Lavandula stoechas, Mentha piperita, Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia sp. and Thymus sp. essential oils showed the strongest effects against Staphylococcus aureus.
