Abstract:Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic, resistant and highly pathogenic bacteria, responsible for severe nosocomial infections in humans. There is need to search new antimicrobials to target P. aeruginosa strains. Cistus munbyi is used in traditional medicine to manage infections. Objectives: This work aims to investigate the antimicrobial, antibiofilm and other antivirulence effects of essential oil from C. munbyi against P. aeruginosa. Materials and methods: Essential oil (EO) was prepared by… Show more
