: Kinetics of Antimicrobial Activity on Clinical Isolates.

A potential alternative therapeutic approach may be represented by essential oils, such as the distilled extract of bergamot ( Risso et Poiteau). Such natural products exercise numerous biological activities, including antimicrobial effects.
