Introduction and Aim: Essential oils have been used from ancient times to treat different gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial-related infections. The study aims to screen the antibacterial, anti-quorum sensing activity of origanum oil against the common infection causing gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Material andMethods: The MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and antibacterial activity of origanum oil against the eight bacterial species, namely, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella enterica, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumonia, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis, was assessed by broth-dilution method and well diffusion method. The anti-quorum sensing activity was analyzed using bioreporter strain CV026 at sub-MIC concentrations, while the cytotoxicity of the origanum oil was analyzed using the SW480 cell line. Results: The oil's antibacterial activity was analyzed by measuring the clear inhibitory zone diameter, and maximum inhibitory zone of 36.66 mm zone against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and 33.33 mm against Salmonella enterica (Gram-negative) of origanum oil was measured. And the minimum inhibitory zone of 16.66 mm zone of Enterococcus faecalis (Gram-positive) and 19.66 mm against Klebsiella pneumoniae (Gram-negative) of oil was noted. And the lowest MIC (0.1 mg/ml) of oilwas found against Streptococcus pneumonia. The oil significantly inhibited the violacein pigment production (30.29 %) at 0.02 mg/ml concentration (this oil concentration did not significantly affect the growth curve). The in vitro cytotoxicity assay shows that the oil inhibited the SW480 cells growth with increasing concentration. Conclusion: The origanum oil possesses antibacterial and anti-quorum sensing activity and can be used as an alternative for treating tested bacterial infection.

“…This evergreen coniferous tree is endemic to northwestern Africa in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, with two small outlying populations in Malta and east Spain (nearby Cartagena and the province of Murcia) ( Figure 3 ) ( Bouhtoury-Charrier et al, 2009 ; Achmit et al, 2021 ). It is worth noting that the Sierra de Cartagena (Sierra de Cartagena) in east Spain is considered the only natural stronghold of the species in Europe ( Morte and Honrubia, 1996 ).…”

“…Indeed, a myriad of plant species from the Cupressaceae family are distinguished by high amounts of volatiles components, which could serve as a renewable supply of food additive agents due to their substantial cidal/static action ( Benjemaa et al, 2022 ; Sadiki et al, 2022 ). T. articulata essential oil is almost colorless or pale yellow, featured by its sweet balsamic scent with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial and antioxidant properties ( Djouahri et al, 2016 ; Achmit et al, 2021 ; Boussaïd et al, 2022 ; Sadiki et al, 2022 ). In a recent study, the effect of T. articulata EO on the shelf life of refrigerated storage chicken fillets was explored by Salem et al (2022) .…”

Tetraclinis articulata (vahl) masters: An insight into its ethnobotany, phytochemistry, toxicity, biocide and therapeutic merits

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters, commonly known as Sandarac tree and Araâr, is the only species representing the genus Tetraclinis Masters. The plant has been extensively used for medicinal, artistic, and ritual purposes since its first recorded use in 1800 B.C. Recently, a full range of ethnobotanical investigations has been undertaken to document the plant’s empirical knowledge. They reported the use of different parts, such as leaves, stems, cones, bark, and roots, as part of folk healing practices to manage diabetes mellitus, hypertension, fever, stomach disorders, and diarrhea, among others. The phytochemical studies have identified at least 130 compounds from leaves, cones, resin, bark, and woods. These chemical constituents are categorized into phenolic acids, flavonoids and their derivatives, volatile compounds, phytosterols, and fatty acids, among others. Furthermore, they have strongly been correlated with the promising antimicrobial, antioxidant, neuroprotective, antiurolithiatic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and cytotoxic properties of the plant. Toxicological studies argued that the plant is quite safe and devoid of eventual toxicity; however, in-depth investigations are required to validate the safety of the plant. The remarkable antimicrobial and antioxidant potencies of various extracts from the plant against a wide range of foodborne pathogens support their possible use to increase the shelf life of foodstuffs in the food industry. Likewise, various plant-based extracts have been proven to exert substantial biocidal properties, making them potential alternatives to synthetic pesticides in agriculture. The present review provides an up-to-date comprehensive insight about the ethnobotanical uses of T. articulata, along with its phytochemistry and biological activities to furnish directions for further studies. We also discussed the biocidal potency of the plant and highlighted its usage to extend the shelf life of perishable foods.
