Antibacterial efficacy of Citrus hystrix (makrut lime) essential oil against clinical multidrug-resistant methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus isolates

Meta-analysis of citrus-derived additives on chicken meat quality and safety: a comprehensive evaluation of acceptability, physicochemical properties, and microbial contamination

“…For example, Citrus hystrix essential oil can reduce the emergence of resistant bacteria. Recent research reveals that the essential oil from Citrus hystrix is effective in inhibiting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus within 12 h per dose (MIC = 18.3 mg/mL) ( Sreepian et al, 2023 ). Cross-contamination from the on-farm and preprocessing sectors of chicken meat products is crucial because many spoilage microorganisms, particularly from the aerobic group, contribute significantly to meat deterioration.…”

“…Various single reports on citrus phytochemicals and their bioactivity, especially antimicrobial ( Cushnie and Lamb, 2005 ; Waikedre et al, 2010 ; Ben Hsouna et al, 2017 ; Denaro et al, 2020 ; Saleem et al, 2023 ; Sreepian et al, 2023 ) have been published recently. For instance, citrus flavonoid are reported to exert intense antioxidant properties ( Parhiz et al, 2015 ), while antibacterial effect are also reported in citrus ( Citrus japonica Thunb) peel extract against E. coli ( Al-Saman et al, 2019 ).…”

Investigating the Antifibrotic Effects of β-Citronellol on a TGF-β1-Stimulated LX-2 Hepatic Stellate Cell Model

“…Several chemical compounds are responsible for an intense kaffir lemon odor, such as Citronellal, L-Linalool, 1,8-Cineole, and α-Terpeneol [7]. The extract and active compounds from this plant harbor several pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory [8,9], antioxidants [10,11], anti-microbial [12,13], and anticancer effects [14][15][16]. The hepatoprotective effects of KL have been reported in paracetamol-induced liver injury in mice models [17].…”
