Determination of Antimicrobial Activity of Various Plant Essential Oils on Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and Some Pathogenic Microorganisms

In this study, it was aimed to determine the anti-bacterial activities of plant essential oils such as thyme, rosemary, sage, linden, black seed, bay leaf, peppermint, parsley, cinnamon and oleagen on vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) pathogenic microorganisms clinical importance. inhibition zones extract 10 plants prepared at 2.5 5 mg / mlconcentrations VRE various were detected by Disk Diffusion Agar Well Method. Following this, Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC) values these extracts determined. The DNA Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analyzes also performed. According data obtained, determined that rosemary sage showed high antibacterial effect against bacteria. found be most effective strains, well medium-grade effects strains in oleaster, thyme mint extracts. It from different did not cause any change structure DNA. our are especially have potential used treatment VRE. results study should taken into account research drugs can more vitro vivo carried out field.
