Abstract: In vitro and in vivo activity of the Lippia alba essential oil (EO) against Aeromonas sp. was evaluated. In the in vitro assay the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of EO for Aeromonas cells were determined using the microdilution method. Twenty five strains of Aeromonas sp. isolated from infected fish obtained from local fish farms were used. MIC and MBC values were 2862 and 5998 µg mL-1 for L. alba EO and 0.5 and 1.2 µg mL-1 for gentamicin, respectively. In… Show more

“…Lippia alba (erva-cidreira) is native to Brazil and its essential oil, whose major compounds are citral (geranial and neral), carvone and linalool (Tavares, Julião, Lopes, Bizzo, Lage & Leitão 2005;Cunha, Chaves, Bizzo & Souza 2012), exhibits a number of biological properties, including antimicrobial, antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory activity (Lorenzi & Matos 2002), proven to act against A. hydrophila (Sutili, Cunha, Ziech, Krewer, Zeppenfeld, Heldwein, Gressler, Heinzmann, Vargas & Baldisserotto 2015). Essential oil of Lippia origanoides (Salva-de-Maraj o) contains carvacrol, thymol and c-terpinene, which have antiparasitic and antimicrobial properties and are efficient against Lactobacillus casei, Streptococcus mutans (Oliveira, Leitão, Bizzo, Lopes, Alviano, Alviano & Leitão 2007), Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli (Betancourt, Phandanauvong, Patiño, Ariza-Nieto & Afanador-T ellez 2012) and A. hydrophila (Henao, Muñoz, Padilha & R ıoz 2010).…”

“…Previously published studies on this subject indicate that increased resistance to bacterial infections provided by baths with EOs is due not only to bactericidal effects but also increased extracellular superoxide anion production by head–kidney macrophages and/or blood leucocytes, inhibition of bacterial haemolytic activity (Sutili et al . , , ), reduction or elimination of biofilm formation (Millezi et al . ), and altered quorum sensing communication (Olivero‐Verbel et al .…”

“…The EO of the species Ocimum americanum (20 mg l À1 ) promoted 75% relative survival rate (Sutili et al 2015b). On the other hand, the EO of Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) promoted a relative survival rate greater than 80% at 16 mg l À1 and greater than 90% at 40 mg l À1 (Sutili et al 2015a).…”
