“…A review of the literature regarding the biological properties of Z. clinopodioides essential oil revealed that most studies focused on its antibacterial effects (3,6,8,10,14,17,18,28,32,49,(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65), antifungal activity (10,22,44,57,(66)(67)(68)(69)(70)(71)(72)(73), and antioxidant capacity (9,19,28,56,64,74,75). A few other biological effects were assessed in some studies, which will be discussed later in this review.…”

Context: Ziziphora clinopodioides is a well-known aromatic and culinary species of the genus Ziziphora. It has been used in Iranian folk medicine for healing digestive issues and fever. Extensive studies have been published on the characterization of the essential oil of this aromatic plant and its related biological properties. This study aimed to review the chemical composition and biological properties of Z. clinopodioides essential oil. Evidence Acquisition: The literature survey was performed using search engines Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed, with the search period spanning within 1990 to 2022. Results: The investigation of Z. clinopodioides essential oil composition revealed that oxygenated monoterpenoids, such as pulegone and related menthane-type structures, in addition to aromatic monoterpenoids, such as carvacrol and thymol, comprise the majority of Z. clinopodioides essential oil components. Due to the high monoterpenoid content, Z. clinopodioides essential oil possesses outstanding biological properties, including antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal activity. Conclusions: Ziziphora clinopodioides essential oil could be considered a natural, rich source of bioactive monoterpenoids encompassing potent biological activities. Therefore, based on the reported properties, it seems that Z. clinopodioides essential oil potentially has widespread industrial applications.

This study aimed to identify biological control methods for contaminated poultry products and the antibiotic resistance associated with the antibiotics used in poultry farming, which are responsible for toxin infections and therapeutic failures in public health. The antibacterial activity of essential oils of Thymus vulgaris, Ocimum basilicum, and Mentha pulegium was tested on 78 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from turkey meat marketed at the point of sale. The essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation, and their organoleptic quality and physicochemical characteristics were assessed following the standard. Their liquid and mobile appearance characterizes essential oils. The three essential oils studied presented different values for the four physicochemical properties. The antibacterial effect of those essential oils was done on Escherichia coli strains using the direct contact technique on agar. The essential oils showed remarkable antibacterial activities with an inhibition diameter ranging from 10.60 to 21.4 mm compared to the positive control (gentamicin) which is used as a preventive, or curative agent in poultry farming. Moreover, MIC and CMB values are equal, with a CMB/CMI ratio equal to 1, making these essential oils bactericidal. These results lead us to conclude that aromatic and medicinal plant EOs can provide a valid alternative to antibiotic and preservative agents in the fight against toxin infections of foodstuffs of animal origin.
