“…Our results are also confirmed by Özcan and Erkmen (2001) who studied the antibacterial activities of nine Turkish plant species including C. cuminum, and found that this oil inhibited S. aureus and S. typhimurium at high concentration, compared to S. cerevisiae. Several authors also confirmed our data (Chaudhary, Husain, & Ali, 2014;Minooeianhaghighi, Sepehrian, & Shokri, 2016;Wanner et al, 2010), having found that CEOs have a strong anti-candida activity. Aligiannis, Kalpoutzakis, Mitaku, and Chinou (2001) proposed a classification for plant material, based on the essential oil activities and MIC results as follows: strong inhibitors (MIC up to 0.5 mg/mL); moderate inhibitors (MIC between 0.6 an d 1.5 mg/ mL); weak inhibitors (MIC above 1.6 mg/mL).…”

Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of essential oils from Cuminum cyminum L. collected in different areas of Morocco

Essential oils from 8 Cuminum cyminum local populations collected in Morocco were investigated for their chemical composition and antimicrobial activity. The chemical composition, investigated by gas chromato-graphic technique, revealed a common fingerprint in all Moroccan samples: twenty-five compounds were identified with-terpinen-7-al being the major component in all samples studied. The antimicrobial activity of cumin essential oils were tested against 10 bacterial strains, belonging to 8 diff erent species, and 6 yeast strains, belonging to 4 species. Lactic acid bacteria showed a good resistance to all essential oil tested while overall the cumin essential oils showed a strong antifungal activity that aff ected both maximum specific growth rate and lag time.

“…Essential oils from Carica papaya have inhibitory effects against Candida species, as shown via the agar diffusion method and the microdilution method, with MICs between 4 and 16 mg/mL and MFCs between 16 and 64 μg/mL ( Sharma H. et al, 2016 ; Sharma Y. et al, 2016 ; He et al, 2017 ). Minooeianhaghighi et al (2017) tested a combination of essential oils from Cuminum cyminum and Lavandula binaludensis against C. albicans isolates, showing growth inhibition at concentrations between 3.90 and 11.71 μg/mL. Essential oils from Cymbopogon nardus have also shown antimicrobial potential against Candida species, with MICs between 250 and 1000 μg/mL and with inhibition of hyphal growth in C. albicans at concentrations between 15.8 and 1000 μg/mL ( De Toledo et al, 2016 ).…”

Candida Infections and Therapeutic Strategies: Mechanisms of Action for Traditional and Alternative Agents

The Candida genus comprises opportunistic fungi that can become pathogenic when the immune system of the host fails. Candida albicans is the most important and prevalent species. Polyenes, fluoropyrimidines, echinocandins, and azoles are used as commercial antifungal agents to treat candidiasis. However, the presence of intrinsic and developed resistance against azole antifungals has been extensively documented among several Candida species. The advent of original and re-emergence of classical fungal diseases have occurred as a consequence of the development of the antifungal resistance phenomenon. In this way, the development of new satisfactory therapy for fungal diseases persists as a major challenge of present-day medicine. The design of original drugs from traditional medicines provides new promises in the modern clinic. The urgent need includes the development of alternative drugs that are more efficient and tolerant than those traditional already in use. The identification of new substances with potential antifungal effect at low concentrations or in combination is also a possibility. The present review briefly examines the infections caused by Candida species and focuses on the mechanisms of action associated with the traditional agents used to treat those infections, as well as the current understanding of the molecular basis of resistance development in these fungal species. In addition, this review describes some of the promising alternative molecules and/or substances that could be used as anticandidal agents, their mechanisms of action, and their use in combination with traditional drugs.

“…Results show that oregano essential oils inhibited both the growth and the activity of C. albicans more efficiently than clotrimazole and damages induced by essential oils at the cellular level were stronger than those caused by the reference drug. Lavandula binadulensis EO alone or in combination with Cuminum cyminum EO shows an interesting antifungal activity against 20 clinical isolates from patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, while in another study L. angustifolia EO show a similar behavior against 80 clinical isolates with an additional antibiofilm activity against one of them . In a huge work of Gucwa et al .…”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.
