COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF ESSENTIAL OILS OF MEDICINAL PLANTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this work was to study the microbiological purity and antimicrobial activity of essential oils of medicinal plants. Determination of the antimicrobial activity of essential oils was carried out by diffusion into agar against certain types of bacteria; Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida. Essential oil from narrow-leaved lavender inflorescences showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli - 30.0 mm. diameter of the zone of growth suppression, Staphylococcus aureus - 28.0 mm., Candida albicans -22.0 mm. Basil essential oil showed activity against Escherichia coli - there was no growth of bacteria on the dishes, Candida albicans - 36.0 mm., Staphylococcus aureus - 25.0 mm.. Based on the above, we can conclude that from the studied essential oils, the essential oil of basil showed a pronounced antibacterial activity compared with the essential oil from the inflorescences of angustifolia lavender.
