The increasing incidence of resistance in tuberculosis and in atypical mycobacterial infections has prompted the search for alternative agents. We explored the antimycobacterial activity of essential oil against tubercular and non tubercular mycobacterials isolates. The good activity observed towards indicated that this essential oil might represent a promising antimicrobial agents, particularly in the management of microbial resistance.

Molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity and virulence effectors remain poorly characterized. A number of studies in the last decade have demonstrated that can establish an endosymbiotic relationship with , a urogenital parasitic protozoon, also associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
