“…A previous study showed that jasmine caused 100% inhibition of spore germination of oto-mycotic pathogens, including C. albicans [ 55 ]. Further, jasmine EO showed promising inhibitory effects against Malassezia species isolated from skin infections [ 22 ], as well as oral strains of Candida species [ 56 ], and a recent study reported its fungicidal activity against mold fungi [ 57 ]. However, none of these studies evaluate the anti-virulence potential of jasmine oil.…”

“…Many EOs have the potential to be used as antifungal agents [ 18 , 19 ]. For example, clove and cinnamon oils exhibited strong activity against fluconazole-resistant C. albicans strains [ 20 ], rosemary oil showed promising antifungal effects against C. albicans and Aspergillus niger [ 21 ], while jasmine oil has antifungal activity against dermatophytes [ 22 ]. The antimicrobial activity of plant oils is mainly attributable to a number of phenolic, alcoholic and terpenoid compounds [ 18 ].…”

Candida albicans is the causative agent of fatal systemic candidiasis. Due to limitations of antifungals, new drugs are needed. The anti-virulence effect of plant essential oils (EOs) was evaluated against clinical C. albicans isolates including cinnamon, clove, jasmine and rosemary oils. Biofilm, phospholipase and hemolysin were assessed phenotypically. EOs were evaluated for their anti-virulence activity using phenotypic methods as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Among the C. albicans isolates, biofilm, phospholipase and hemolysins were detected in 40.4, 86.5 and 78.8% of isolates, respectively. Jasmine oil showed the highest anti-biofilm activity followed by cinnamon, clove and rosemary oils. SEM and AFM analysis showed reduced adherence and roughness in the presence of EOs. For phospholipase, rosemary oil was the most inhibitory, followed by jasmine, cinnamon and clove oils, and for hemolysins, cinnamon had the highest inhibition followed by jasmine, rosemary and clove oils. A molecular docking study revealed major EO constituents as promising inhibitors of the Als3 adhesive protein, with the highest binding for eugenol, followed by 1,8-cineole, 2-phenylthiolane and cinnamaldehyde. In conclusion, EOs have a promising inhibitory impact on Candida biofilm, phospholipase and hemolysin production, hence EOs could be used as potential antifungals that impact virulence factors.

The Vibrio group of bacteria is considered highly pathogenic to shrimp larvae. Shrimp larvae are susceptible to Vibrio. It is difficult to eradicate Vibrio from the hatchery environment completely. Efforts were made to design an effective disinfectant with almost no side effects or residues. A formulation was developed by combining essential oils with antimicrobial properties to fight against pathogenic Vibrios, such as Vibrio harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus, in a hatchery environment. The anti-Vibrio formulation is a blend of Eucalyptus globulus, jasmine, and gardenia oils, designated as essential oil blend formulation (EOBF). The effective dose of EOBF was optimized on bacteria using TSA and on Vibrio using TCBS agar media. The optimized dose of 40 ppm EOBF was sprayed on the tank and culture area dry surfaces. The trial sites selected were the water filter tank, maturation tank, fry reservoir tank, quarantine and maturation tank, hatchery tank, spawning tank, rinsing tank, plankton tank, larvae rearing tank, packing tank, artemia tank, polychaetes (bucket and floor), squid (equipment and table), and freshwater tank of an experimental hatchery. The swab samples were collected after 3 hours, and a significant decrease in Vibrio, mostly green colonies, such as Vibrio harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus, was found after EOBF application. The obtained results showed that EOBF is an effective disinfectant against pathogenic Vibrios in shrimp hatcheries.

“…The callous extracts of J. sambac were also reported to display antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus albus , Proteus mirabilis , Salmonella typhi, and Propionibacterium acnes 80,81 . The use of J sambac extract can be a potential additive in skin and hair products to prevent Malassezia sp infection altogether.Santhanam et al (2014) indicated that methanol extract of flowers exhibited twice inhibitory effect against Malassezia sp compared to leaves 82 …”

Background: Pityriasis capitis commonly known as dandruff is one of the most common and widely seen dermatological disease that affects majority of the world population. It is more than superficial flaking, as it leads to significant structural changes in the stratum corneum and inflammatory biomarkers. Various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as Malassezia yeast, host epidermal conditions, sebaceous secretion, and abnormal immune responses, are found to contribute to the pathogenesis. Regardless of wide research, detail understanding, and treatment modalities, it still remains to be a cause of concern due to its recurring nature. Aims: The objective of this study is to enhance the understanding of its wide causes, pathophysiology, current treatment, and future approach. Methods: The article also aims at evaluating various promising anti-dandruff agents that can be further researched to become the leads in anti-dandruff therapy. Results & Conclusion: The article summarizes the current knowledge on dandruff and present new facts and evidences in order to spread awareness, create potential for new herbal treatment options, and effectively control the most commercially exploited scalp disorder.
