In the current study, phenolic-phenolic and phenolic-synthetic combinations were tested for their antibiofilm formation, anti-planktonic growth, and anti-adhesion properties against , (formerly ), , and . The phenolics were vanillin and cinnamic acid, while the synthetic preservatives were sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and sodium diacetate.

- Microbial biofilms pose a significant challenge in both food production and home settings, as they can resist common sanitizers.
- This study explored the effectiveness of essential oils from cinnamon, marjoram, and thyme, along with their main active ingredients, against multi-species biofilms.
- Results showed that cinnamon and thyme oils were highly effective, achieving over 99.9% biofilm removal on certain surfaces, outperforming a traditional industrial sanitizer.
The biofilm formation of bacteria in different parts of the human body can influence the success of antibiotic therapy. Essential oils (EOs) and their components are becoming increasingly popular in point of view of medicinal applications, because of their antibacterial efficacy. The immortelle EO has been used traditionally as an expectorant; however, there are no studies summarizing its antibacterial effect against respiratory tract bacteria.
