“…Studies conducted in Bulgaria, Tunisia, Morocco, India, Serbia and Iran, have reported pulegone chemotype but in lower proportions of pulegone compared to the presently studied essential oil [18,[20][21][22][23][24][25]. The high amount of pulegone can be attributed to the harvest area which is located in high altitude.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Algerian Mentha pulegium essential oil against extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing bacteria isolated from avian livestock. The synergistic interactions between conventional antibiotics and Mentha pulegium essential oil were assessed. Methods:Essential oil composition was determined by gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector (GC/FID), gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC/MS) analysis.Antibacterial activity of Mentha pulegium essential oil against ESBL producing bacteria was investigated by disc diffusion assay. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of essential oil and it synergistic interaction with conventional antibiotics were determined by micro-broth dilution method and checkerboard test, respectively. Results:The results indicate that Mentha pulegium essential oil with a high amount of pulegone (88.78%) had high inhibitory activity against the tested strains and particularly displays a satisfactory action against the studied ESBL producing bacteria from animal origin, with a diameter ranging from 13 to 26 mm. Out of 51 combinations tested between essential oil and antibiotics 60.78 % showed total synergy, 13.72 % had presented a partial synergy. The best antibacterial activities were obtained with the combination of Mentha pulegium essential oil and cefazolin, cefotaxime and gentamycin. Conclusion:This study allowed concluding that Mentha pulegium essential oil showed not only satisfactory antibacterial properties, but also acts synergistically combined with conventional antibiotics, which make it a promising alternative to antimicrobial drugs; beside that, it might reduce the minimum effective dose of the drugs which minimizes their possible side effects.

“…The DPPH free radical-scavenging activity of each sample was determined according to the method described by Cherrat et al (2013) with slight modifications. Freshly prepared by dissolving 3.7 mg of DPPH• (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, Sigma) in 100 ml of methanol.…”

slight increase of the extractable polyphenolics in PS and MS during the storage might explain in part the relatively limited decrease of GTPS and GTMS total phenolic content. However, chromatographic examination proved that some tea compounds, particularly caffeine, were preserved following PS and MS supplementation. Likewise, syrups'addition to GT significantly (P<0.5) limited the reduction of its antioxidant capacity as revealed by the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthialzoline-6-sulfonic acid)) assays. As expected, the antimicrobial trials showed that Gram (+) Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the most sensitive strains to tea polyphenols. The syrups supplementation noticeably preserved the tea bacteriostatic and bactericide activities during storage. The obtained analytical results demonstrate that MS or PS addition to green tea beverage stabilized its polyphenolic content and biofunctional properties during refrigerated storage, thus, scientifically supporting this popular practice in the Mediterranean countries.

“…In different studies conducted, the antimicrobial effects of Lavandula stoechas plant have been demonstrated and it has been stated that it is especially effective on pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica, E. coli D157I:H7 Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus calcium, and Salmonella (Aydın Duman, 2008;Cherrat et al, 2014).…”
