“…The 100% essential oil had the highest inhibition zone when compared to the other concentrations tested (11) . The action of the Eucalyptus globulus essential oil against strains of methicillin-resistant Sthaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) also stands out (13)(14) .…”

Objective:To evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, and of the xylitol and papain substances against the following microorganisms: Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Samonella sp.; Staphylococus aureus; Proteus vulgaris; Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Method: The in vitro antimicrobial evaluation was used by means of the agar diffusion test and evaluation of the inhibition zone diameter of the tested substances. Chlorhexidine 0.5% was used as control. Results: The Eucalyptus globulus oil showed higher inhibition than chlorhexidine when applied to Staphylococcus aureus, and equal inhibition when applied to the following microorganisms: Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris and Candida albicans. Papain 10% showed lower antimicrobial effect than chlorhexidine in relation to Candida albicans. Xylitol showed no inhibition of the tested microorganisms. Conclusion: The Eucalyptus globulus oil has antimicrobial activity against different microorganisms and appears to be a viable alternative as germicidal agent hence, further investigation is recommended.

“…Ruprah et al (1980) had reported that use of Cedrusdeodara had completely cured mange infestation in 17 days in buffalo calves. The essential oil of the leaves of E. globulus showed antimicrobial activity against gram negative bacteria (E. coli) as well as gram positive bacteria (S. aureus) indicates that the essential oil of E. globulus leaves might be exploited as natural antibiotic for the treatment of several infectious diseases caused by these two germs (Bachir and Benali, 2012). The pine oil (Pinus longifolia) has more or less same repellent action as that was observed with aromatic oil from Citronella (Lemon grass), which is used as insect repellent in some commercial preparations (Ansari et al, 2005).Based on the above results, it was clearly demonstrated that the wound healing and pain relieving effects of Topicure ® Plus spay observed in the present study could be attributed to the activity of these phytoactive compounds.…”

Abstract:The present study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of polyherbal aerosol sprayTopicure ® Plus against maggot infested wounds in sheep. Two sheep presented at Vellore Veterinary Dispensary with a history of maggot infested wound were selected. Based on the severity of wound, antibiotics (Ampicillin -10 mg/kg body weight) and NSAIDs (Meloxicam -0.5 mg/kg body weight on 1 st day) were administered. The site of wound was clipped off the hair and cleaned with sterile saline solution and wiped with dry sterile cotton on first day of the treatment. Then Topicure ® Plus was sprayed in sufficient quantities to cover the entire wound twice daily till complete healing of wound occurs. When Topicure ® Plus spray was administered concurrent local treatment with other fly repellents/maggoticidal agents was not followed. Wound was observed for the changes in swelling, discharge, granulation tissue and wound healing process following the treatment till complete recovery. Similarly, fly repellent activity and duration, maggot repellent property, activity level and product satisfaction score were also recorded. The results indicate that Topicure ® Plus had ensured faster wound healing (within 8 days) which is evident through reduction in pain, swelling, discharge and granulation tissue score along with superior fly repellent activity and duration, maggot repellent property. Therefore, it appears from the present study that treatment of myiasis wound with Topicure ® Plus spray along with antibiotic regime was the most effective in field conditions as it avoids the day to day manual removal of maggots and induces the faster wound healing.

“…Some authors have reported that gram-negative microorganisms are marginally more delicate to basic oils when contrasted with gram-positive.The gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms vary in a few angles other than concerning the structure of their cell walls, for the most part as to the presence of lipoproteins and lipopolysaccharides in gram-negative microbes that barrier to hydrophobic compounds [12,13,14]. Some scientists reported that there is a relationship between the chemical structures of the most common in the test basic oil and the antimicrobial movement.…”
