20.500.12556/RUL-155979 The capacity of Lamiaceae essential oils, extracts and hydrolats against pathogenic biofilms The study aimed to analyse the potential of Lamiaceae essential oils, extracts, and hydrolats against bacterial biofilms. Bacterial cells Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus were exposed to Thymus vulgaris L. (thyme), Salvia officinalis L. (sage), Mentha × piperita L. (mint) essential oils, extracts, and hydrolats. The result of the minimal inhibitory concentration assessment shows the highest antibacterial potential for essential oils, followed by extracts and hydrolats respectively. The anti-biofouling capacity revealed that thyme essential oil has the highest potential for biofilm prevention for all tested bacteria, reducing up to 91% of biofilm, followed by mint (88%) and sage (87%) essential oil. While the thyme extract (84%), sage extract (83%) and hydrolat (77%) we less effective. The chemical composition of thyme essential oil showed a high percentage of monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes, among which p-cymene and thymol were the most predominant. The bacterial cell membrane integrity assessment shows a significant increase in dead cells by increasing the concentration of thyme essential oil. The findings of our research indicate that the choice of herbal preparation significantly affects the active components, thereby influencing both antibacterial and anti-biofouling capabilities. Lamiaceae essential oils show great potential for biofilm management and represent a good candidate for antibacterial application in pharmacy, medicine, and industry. essential oils extracts hydrolats Lamiaceae bacteria anti-biofouling true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2024-04-25 13:27:51 2024-04-25 13:27:51 2024-04-26 04:07:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 450-468 iss. 2 Vol. 27 2024 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-03-19 614:582.943 0972-060X 10.1080/0972060X.2024.2318339 191488259 Clanek_manuscript_TF.pdf Clanek_manuscript_TF.pdf 1 4B88ABAE8FC4EFFDCC7A44191078E9DE 97a54613ba717e5f3c7b1b3d1682948d19730bd5952e2d3b6b1e978cc74b263a 35e22d1d-02f7-11ef-a27e-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183170 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0972060X.2024.2318339 0 70fb9cc1-02f7-11ef-a27e-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183172 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
