Background and aim: Many bacteria have evolved resistance to conventional antibiotics as a result of
their widespread usage. This means that to treat an illness, new antibiotics must be created regularly.
Increased Diseases have historically employed essential oils (EOs) to treat or cure infectious infections,
despite antibiotic resistance. Many of these essential oils have been tested for antibacterial action in the
laboratory, and a considerable number of EOs compounds have been found to suppress the development
of bacterial spores. This work is carried out to see if essential oils can have a therapeutic function on
bacterial growth. Materials and methods: Several bacterial samples were resistant to various
antibiotics. The specimens were collected and transferred under aseptic circumstances to the
Microbiology Laboratory. A sterile loop was used to collect the clinical samples, which was then placed
into a transportable media. The materials were gathered in an aseptic environment. The disc diffusion
method was used to test antibiotic susceptibility with EOs. Result: The bacteria E. coli, Streptococcus
sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Klebsiella sp. were all found. When their antibacterial powers were tested
against EOs, cinnamon and arugula oils were shown to be rich sources of essential oils with diverse
antibacterial activities. Conclusion: These essential oils appear to have structures and mechanisms of action that inhibit bacterial growth |
