“…Several studies have been performed concerning the antimicrobial activity of essential oils or extracts of other Satureja species. Many of the previous studies demonstrated that the members of the genus Satureja show a high antimicrobial activity due to the presence of thymol, carvacrol, and their precursors (Azaz et al 2002;Gulluce et al 2003;Sahin et al 2003). a DD = diameter of disc diffusion (mm); NET = Netilmicin (30 µg/disc) were used as positive reference standards antibiotic discs (Oxoid) b DD = inhibition zone in diameter (mm) around the discs (6 mm) impregnated with 300 µg/disc of methanol extract c DD = inhibition zone in diameter (mm) around the discs (6 mm) impregnated with 10 µl of essential oil d minimal inhibitory concentrations as (µg/ml) e MIC = Amphotericin B (µg/ml) was used as reference antibiotic in MIC agar dilution (Sigma) -no inhibition zone and/or MIC value measured…”

“…These studies have revealed that the genus has antimicrobial activity against human, food, and plant pathogens (Deans & Svoboda 1990;Ciani et al 2000;Baser et al 2001;Ozcan & Erkmen 2001;Azaz et al 2002;Sokovic et al 2002;Gulluce et al 2003) due to the presence of phenolic components such as thymol and carvacrol. In a more recent study, Sahin et al (2003) have found that essential oil and methanol extract of Satureja hortensis show a strong inhibition on a wide range of bacteria and fungi.…”

The present work reports the in vitro antimicrobial activities of the essential oil and methanol extract from Satureja hortensis as well as the content of its essential oil. The chemical composition of hydrodistilled essential oil of Satureja hortensis was analysed by means of GC-MS. Thirty constituents were identified. The main constituents of the oil were thymol (40.54%), γ-terpinene (18.56%), carvacrol (13.98%), and p-cymene (8.97). The essential oil of Satureja hortensis exhibited the activity against 25 bacteria, 8 fungi, and a yeast, C. albicans; exerting the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration values (MIC) ranging from 15.62 to 250 µl/ml. Similarly, methanol extract of the plant also showed antimicrobial activity.

“…Several studies have been performed concerning the antimicrobial activity of essential oils or extracts of other Satureja species [3]. Many of the previous studies demonstrated that the members of the genus Satureja show a high antimicrobial activity due to the presence of thymol, carvacrol and their precursors [21][22][23]. In conclusion, it can be suggested that S. bachtiarica extract in "in vitro" have considerable antimicrobial ability against the studied strains.…”

Background: Essences and extracts of herbs, possess a variety level of biological activities, in addition the antimicrobial activities of a large number of these have been proved. With regard to the biologically active compounds and traditional use of the Satureja bachtiarica, it seems that this plant has significant antimicrobial effects. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of S. bachtiarica against Enterobacter aerogenes, Bacillus subtilis and Listeria innocua of the important food pathogen. Materials and Methods:In this experimental study, antimicrobial effect of extracts was evaluated by two methods, Collins method and disk agar diffusion method on Enterobacter aerogenes ATTC 13048, Listeria innocua ATTC 33090 and Bacillus subtilis PTCC 1720. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) determined using a dilution method. Statistical analysis was carried out by analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique. Results: All ethanolic extract concentrations had an inhibitory effect on the disk agar diffusion method. In Collins method ethanolic extract, prevented the growth of both strains on medium. The MBC of ethanolic extract of S. bachtiarica for B. subtilis and L. innocua was 16 and 32 mg/mL respectively, and for E. aerogenes was 64 mg/mL. But the MBC of aqueous extract of S. bachtiarica for B. subtilis and L. innocua was 32 and 64 mg/mL, respectively and for E. aerogenes was 128 mg/mL. Conclusions: The S. bachtiarica extract showed the more effective impact on the growth of B. subtilis PTCC 1720 and L. innocua ATTC 33090 than E. aerogenes ATTC 13048 (P < 0.05). The results indicated that ethanolic extract of S. bachtiarica had maximum effect on Gram positive bacteria B. subtilis PTCC 1720 and L. innocua ATTC 33090.
