“…Analyses of the antibacterial properties of lavender essential oils have been carried out by a number of researchers. The obtained results indicate that lavender essential oils show a particularly strong action against various Gram-positive bacteria: Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis or Streptococcus pyogenes [4,6,7,[11][12][13][14][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. It has been demonstrated that lavender essential oils also act against Gram-negative bacteria, such as Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Pullorum or Klebsiella sp.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the antibacterial effects of essential oils isolated from different cultivars and morphological parts of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) in combination with the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin. This in vitro study analyzed the effectiveness of the combinations of gentamicin and lavender essential oils against the following strains: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus aureus MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027. The effect of the combination of lavender oils with gentamicin was tested using the checkerboard method. A synergistic effect against S. aureus strain ATCC 25923 was found when gentamicin was combined with lavender essential oils isolated from flowers and leafy stalks (flowers: ‘Blue River’ FICI—0.192; ‘Ellagance Purple’ FICI—0.288; leafy stalks: ‘Blue River’ FICI—0.192; ‘Ellagance Purple’ FICI—0.320). A synergistic effect was also observed for the combination of gentamicin with lavender essential oils from flowers against the resistant strain of S. aureus (MRSA) (‘Blue River’ FICI—0,191; ‘Ellagance Purple’ FICI—0.263), as well as for the essential oils from leafy stalks (‘Blue River’ FICI—0.076; ‘Ellagance Purple’ FICI—0.089). No interaction was observed for the combination of studied essential oils with gentamicin against P. aeruginosa strain ATCC 9027 (FICI = 1.083–1.300).

The aim of the current study was in vitro antimicrobial profiling of commercial wintergreen essential oil derived from leaves of Gaultheria procumbens (Natural essential oil -Wintergreen oil Bamer®) against Gram-positive strains such as Enterococcus faecalis (Andrewes and Horder) Schleifer and Kilpper-Balz (ATCC®51299™) (resistant to vancomycin; sensitive to teicoplanin) and Enterococcus faecalis (Andrewes and Horder) Schleifer and Kilpper-Balz (ATCC®29212™), Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus Rosenbach ATCC®29213™, Staphylococcus aureus NCTC12493™, and Gram-negative strains such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Schroeter) Migula ATCC®27853™, Escherichia coli (Migula) Castellani and Chalmers ATCC®25922™, and Escherichia coli (Migula) Castellani and Chalmers ATCC®35218™. The testing of the antibacterial activity of wintergreen EO was carried out in vitro by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. This study demonstrated that commercial wintergreen essential oil derived from leaves of Gaultheria procumbens (Natural essential oil -Wintergreen oil Bamer®) possesses significant antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecalis strains. Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli strains were resistant to commercial wintergreen essential oil derived from leaves of Gaultheria procumbens. This study showed that commercial wintergreen essential oil derived from leaves of Gaultheria procumbens could be a potential preparation as a source of natural antibacterial properties. Future pharmacological studies and development in other areas are thus warranted.

“…The susceptibility of the test organisms to the linden honey was indicated by a clear zone of inhibition around the discs containing the linden honey and the diameter of the clear zone was taken as an indicator of susceptibility. The following zone diameter criteria were used to assign susceptibility or resistance of bacteria to the phytochemicals tested: Susceptible (S) ≥15 mm, Intermediate (I) = 10-15 mm, and Resistant (R) ≤10 mm (Okoth et al, 2013;Tkachenko et al, 2022).…”

Linden honey is rich in organic acids, such as formic acid and malic acid, which have antibacterial and antiinflammatory properties. This, in turn, helps prevent bacterial infections and inflammatory diseases that can lead to serious cardiovascular disorders. These bactericidal and antiviral properties are due to the high content of inhibin, lysozyme, and apidicin. These are bactericidal and antiviral enzymes that are responsible for the strong antibiotic properties of linden honey. The aim of the current study was in vitro antimicrobial profiling of different natural linden honey produced by Polish manufacturers, exhibiting inhibitory activity against Gram-positive strains such as Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus Rosenbach ATCC®25923™, and Gram-negative strains such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Schroeter) Migula ATCC®27853™, Escherichia coli (Migula) Castellani and Chalmers ATCC®25922™. The different natural linden honey produced by Polish manufacturers such as Beekeeping farm "Pszczółka" (Ustka, Poland), Beekeeping farm "Mazurskie Miody Bogdan Piasecki" (Tomaszkowo, Poland), Beekeeping farm "Sądecki Bartnik" (Stróże, Poland), Beekeeping farm "Zaczarowany Ogród", and Beekeeping farm "Karolczak Cezary" (Sławno, Poland) were used in the current study. The samples were stored in resalable vials at 5 °C in the dark but were allowed to adjust to room temperature before investigation. The testing of the antibacterial activity of different natural linden honey was carried out in vitro by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. This study demonstrated that all samples of natural linden honey produced by Polish manufacturers demonstrated mild antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus Rosenbach ATCC®25923™, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Schroeter) Migula ATCC®27853™, and Escherichia coli (Migula) Castellani and Chalmers ATCC®25922™ strains. More sensitive to all samples of natural linden honey studied was Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus Rosenbach ATCC®25923™ strain following Escherichia coli (Migula) Castellani and Chalmers ATCC®25922™ strain.
