In this study, the antimicrobial properties of essential oils obtained from Coriandrum sativum, Foeniculum vulgare Miller, Salvia triloba, Laurus nobilis L., Citrus limon and Origanum smyrnaeum L. were investigated. A total of eight microbial organisms belonging to six species of bacteria, namely Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes, as well as two fungi, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, were studied using a disc-diffusion and agar dilution (minimal inhibition concentration) method. The antimicrobial activity of essential oils obtained from the six plants turned out to be more effective in the case of bacteria than against fungi. The antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria was more pronounced than against Gram-negative ones. All the investigated plants are known as having healing properties and are used to treat various diseases. The essential oils obtained from L. nobilis and O. smyrnaeum showed the highest antifungal activity against C. albicans and A. niger, while the essential oils obtained from F. vulgare showed the highest antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa and E. coli. On the other hand, the essential oils obtained from O. smyrnaeum showed stronger antibacterial activity in the case of E. aerogenes and S. aureus, but were not equally effective against E. coli. The other crude essential oils showed varied levels of antibacterial and antifungal activity. The minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC ) of the essential oils obtained from O. smyrnaeum and of those obtained from L. nobilis ranged from 1.17 to 4.71 mg/ml, and 2.4 to 19.2 mg/ml, respectively.

Podczas relacjonowanych tu badań analizowano przeciwdrobnoustrojowe własności olejków pozyskiwanych z Coriandrum sativum, Foeniculum vulgare, Salvia triloba, Laurus nobilis, Citrus limon oraz Origanum smyrnaeum. Badano łącznie osiem mikroorganizmów należących do sześciu gatunków bakterii, mianowicie Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli oraz Enterobacter aerogenes, a ponadto dwa grzyby, Candida albicans i Aspergillus niger. Wykorzystano metodę płytkową oceny wartości MIC . Olejki pozyskane z sześciu badanych roślin wykazywały silniejsze działanie w wypadku bakterii niż grzybów. Wyraźniej widać było działanie na bakterie Gram-dodatnie niż na Gram-ujemne. Wszystkie badane rośliny są znane z właściwości zdrowotnych i są wykorzystywane do leczenia różnych chorób. Olejki pozyskane z L. nobilis oraz O. smyrnaeum wykazywały najsilniejsze działanie na grzyby C. albicans oraz A. niger, a olejek otrzymany z F. vulgare wykazywał najwyższe działanie w wypadku P. aeruginosa oraz E. coli. Olejki pozyskane z O. smyrnaeum działały silniej na E. aerogenes i S. aureus, nie wykazały natomiast zbliżonego działania w wypadku E. coli. W wypadku pozostałych olejków otrzymano różne wartości. Wartości MIC olejków otrzymanych z O. smyrnaeum oraz L. nobilis wahały się odpowiednio od 1,17 do 4.71 mg/ml oraz od 2,4 to 19,2 mg/ml.
