“…Essential oils extracted from herbs and spices have displayed varying bactericidal activity when compared to the known antimicrobial activity of their primary constituents, which indicates there may be unknown minor components in the essential oils with antimicrobial activity, or there may be synergistic or antagonistic effects between all the bioactive compounds combined (39,43). Yano et al measured the inhibitory action of several herbs and spices on E. coli and V. parahaemolyticus and found that gram positive bacteria which form spores appear to be more sensitive to herbs and spices (44). Yano et al also found that the antibacterial activity of spice extracts against gram positive species of Bacillus was enhanced in some, but not all, cases in slightly acidic or salty conditions (44).…”

Historically herbs and spices have enjoyed a rich tradition of use for their flavor-enhancement characteristics and for their medicinal properties. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide and the corresponding rise in health care costs is propelling interest among researchers and the public for these food related items for multiple health benefits, including a reduction in cancer risk and modification of tumor behavior. A growing body of epidemiological and preclinical evidence points to culinary herbs and spices as minor dietary constituents with multiple anticancer characteristics. This review focuses on the anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anti-tumorigenic properties of herbs and spices, their ability to influence carcinogen bioactivation, and likely anticancer contributions. While culinary herbs and spices present intriguing possibilities for health promotion, more complete information is needed about the actual exposures to dietary components that are needed to bring about a response and the molecular target(s) for specific herbs and spices. Only after this information is obtained will it be possible to define appropriate intervention strategies to achieve maximum benefits from herbs and spices without eliciting ill-consequences.

Aqueous extracts of Corrigiola telephiifolia and Anacyclus pyrethrum were studied in vitro for their antimicrobial properties. These plants were collected from the Central Middle Atlas region. Corrigiola telephiifolia Pourr. and Anacyclus pyrethrum (L.) Link are widely used as a natural drug for the treatment of various infectious diseases. Phytochemical screening of the plants showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids and alkaloids. The determination of the polyphenols in the aqueous extract of the two plants revealed the presence of significant amounts of polyphenols (58.5 ± 0.76 mg equivalent of gallic acid (GEA) per gram of extract for C. telephiifolia, and 97.57 mg equivalent of gallic acid (GEA) per gram of extract of A. pyrethrum). The antimicrobial activity of the aqueous extracts against three bacterial strains was evaluated on the basis of the inhibition zone using the disk diffusion assay. The aqueous extract of Corrigiola telephiifolia is slightly active on E. coli. At a concentration of extract 100 μg mL-1, the size of the inhibition zone equal to 9 ± 0.06 mm. Whereas S. aureus, E. coli and K. pneumoniae showed a sensitivity to the macerate of Anacyclus pyrethrum at the concentration 100 μg mL-1 of extract with an inhibition zone 16.55 ± 0.6 mm, 14.95 ± 1.25 mm and 10.83 ± 0.96 respectively.

“…It should also be noted that Vibrio species are used in traditional microbiological assessments of medicinal herbs with potential antimicrobial property as well, such as V. fischeri (Manilal andIdhayadhulla 2014, Ranjithkumar et al 2011), V. parahaemolyticus (Manilal and Idhayadhulla 2014, Snoussi et al 2008, Vijayakumar et al 2012, Yano et al 2006, V. mimicus (Manilal and Idhayadhulla 2014), V. alginolyticus (Manilal andIdhayadhulla 2014, Snoussi et al 2008), V. alcaligenes (Manilal and Idhayadhulla 2014); V. vulnificus (Manilal andIdhayadhulla 2014, Snoussi et al 2008), V. fluvialis (Snoussi et al 2008), V. cholerae (Islam et al 2008, Mahboubi andHaghi 2008) and V. harveyi (Manilal and Idhayadhulla 2014).…”

Extended research has been carried out to clarify the ecological role of plant secondary metabolites (SMs). Although their primary ecological function is self-defence, bioactive compounds have long been used in alternative medicine or in biological control of pests. One single plant may contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, making analytics rather costly. The total bactericide capacity can be quantified by either microbiological or ecotoxicological methods. Here, the principle and possible applications of a specific bacterial bioluminescence inhibition based ecotoxicological assay are reviewed.
