Antimicrobial Potential and Phytochemical Profile of Wild and Cultivated Populations of Thyme ( sp.) Growing in Western Romania.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of some thymus populations collected from five different locations in Western Romania. The chemical compositions of the essential oils (EOs) were studied through GC-MS, and the biological activities were evaluated using the microdilution method. The EO yield ranged between 0.
