In vitro antimicrobial activity of extracts and essential oils of Cinnamomum, Salvia, and Mentha spp. against foodborne pathogens: A meta-analysis study.

Essential oils (EOs) are a class of natural products that exhibit potent antimicrobial properties against a broad spectrum of bacteria. Inhibition diameters (IDs) and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are the typical measures of antimicrobial activity for extracts and EOs obtained from Cinnamomum, Salvia, and Mentha species. This study used a meta-analytical regression analysis to investigate the correlation between ID and MIC measurements and the variability in antimicrobial susceptibility tests.

Anti-adherence Activity of Monomicrobial and Polymicrobial Food-Derived Enterococcus spp. Biofilms Against Pathogenic Bacteria.

Enterococcus species are commensal organisms of the gastrointestinal tract and can also be isolated from traditional food products. They are used as probiotics in animals and less often in humans. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial and anti-adhesive activities of twelve food-origin Enterococcus spp.

Meta-Analysis of In Vitro Antimicrobial Capacity of Extracts and Essential Oils of , L. and L.: Contrasting the Results of Different Antimicrobial Susceptibility Methods.

Diffusion methods, including agar disk-diffusion and agar well-diffusion, as well as dilution methods such as broth and agar dilution, are frequently employed to evaluate the antimicrobial capacity of extracts and essential oils (EOs) derived from L., , and L. The results are reported as inhibition diameters (IDs) and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), respectively.
