“…In our experiment, the diameters of the growth inhibition zones ranged from 14 mm to 46 mm, giving two times the effect of nystatin. It is probably due to the high amount of 1,8-cineole in the eucalyptus essential oil (over 85%), already known as the component that inhibits the growth of fungi, especially C. albicans (Tabanca et al 2001).…”

Damjanović-Vratnica B., Đakov T., Šuković D., Damjanović J. (2011): Antimicrobial effect of essential oil isolated from Eucalyptus globulus Labill. from Montenegro. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 277-284.Chemical composition of the essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus Labill., grown in Montenegro, was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and its antimicrobial activity was evaluated against 17 microorganisms, including food poisoning and spoilage bacteria and human pathogens.The Eucalyptus essential oil yield was 1.8% (w/w) on the fresh weight basis, whereas the analysis resulted in the identification of a total of 11 constituents, 1.8 cineole (85.8%), α-pinene (7.2%), and β-myrcene (1.5%) being the main components. Other compounds identified in the oil were β-pinene, limonene, α-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, linalool, pinocarveol, terpinen-4-ol, and α-terpineol. The results of the antimicrobial activity tests revealed that the essential oil of E. globulus has rather a strong antimicrobial activity, especially against Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, acinetobacter baumannii, and klebsiella pneumoniae. Minimum inhibitory concentration revealed the lowest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonela infantis (3.13 mg/ml) while the highest activity was against S. aureus, E. coli, and S. pyogenes (0.09 mg/ml).

“…This could be explained by notable amounts of 1,8-cineole (40.40%), camphor (11.10%) and borneol (3.22%) in the essential oil. All of the three substances are confirmed as strong antimicrobials on a different range of bacteria (Candan et al, 2003;Tabanca et al, 2001;Tzakou et al, 2001).…”

Staphylococcus aureus, a gram positive, non-motile, catalase and coagulase positive, facultative anaerobe coccus is a common type of bacteria that normally lives on the skin and nasal passages of healthy people. The genus Achillea (Asteraceae) was named after the mythological Greek warrior Achilles who used Achillea species for healing wounded-soldiers during the Trojan war. The genus Achillea comprises of ~85 species, most of which are endemic to Europe and the Middle East. The aim of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial effects of yarrow (Achillea millefolium) essential oils against Staphylococcus spp., fourteen clinical isolates of Staphylococcus cultured from patients. The disc diffusion method was used for determination of antimicrobial activity of essential oil. Results showed that this inhibitory effect is dose-dependent to wit, by increasing the concentration of the extract in the culture media; reduction in growth was obviously revealed. In conclusion, it can be stated that yarrow essential oils have inhibitory effect against Staphylococcus spp.

“…Tanideh et al (2014) also observed increased stimulation of collagen production by topical gel Hypericum perforatum L., which helped repair the wounds, closing areas of damaged oral mucosa in the animals. This effect may be associated with the bactericidal action of borneol, which prevents secondary infection by fungi and bacteria, promoting reepithelialization and standardization of collagen fiber content (Tabanca et al, 2001;Wenqiang et al, 2006). no differences were observed between the two borneol concentrations.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gels containing the monoterpene borneol in induced oral mucositis using an animal model. Gels were prepared with borneol at 1.2% and 2.4% (w/w). Oral mucositis was induced by administration of three doses of 5-fluorouracil (30 mg/kg, i.p.) and injury with acetic acid (50%, v/v) soaked in filter paper applied to right cheek mucosa for 60s. Four subgroups comprising 12 animals each were formed. Six animals from each group were sacrificed at days seven and fourteen after oral mucositis induction. Mucous samples were processed and stained with hematoxylineosin and Masson's Trichrome. The semiquantitative evaluation involved observation of inflammatory parameters. ImageJ® software was used in the quantitative evaluation. For statistical analyses, Two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post-test (p <0.05), were employed. Borneol 2.4% gel proved effective in the treatment of oral mucositis with statistically significant differences between groups for angiogenesis control, inflammatory cell count reduction and percentage neoformed collagen increase. The confirmation of anti-inflammatory and healing action of borneol in oral mucositis in rats renders it a good marker for predicting this activity for plant extracts rich in this substance.
