20.500.12556/RUL-165655 Evaluation of the In vitro disinfection potential of the phytochemicals linalool and citronellal against biofilms formed by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus This study aimed to analyze the potential of phytochemicals linalool and citronellal against E. coli and S. aureus biofilms and to compare the results to sodium hypochlorite. We tested the minimal inhibitory concentration, bacterial cell reduction, respiratory chain dehydrogenase activity, cell membrane integrity, and biomass reduction. The results show the lowest inhibitory concentration for both E. coli and S. aureus for sodium hypochlorite, followed by a combination of linalool and citronellal, the sole use of linalool, and the sole use of citronellal, respectively. Furthermore, we found that linalool was effective in biofilm cell reduction, cell respiratory inhibition, membrane integrity, and biomass reduction, while citronellal was less effective. Overall, this indicates that linalool has some benefits in biofilm management, especially with a focus on reducing toxic sodium hypochlorite consumption. linalool citronellal phytochemicals biofilm reduction S. aureus E. coli true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2024-12-11 14:42:15 2024-12-11 14:42:16 2024-12-12 03:55:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 11 str. iss. 12, [article no.] 2743 Vol. 12 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 614.48 2227-9717 10.3390/pr12122743 218633987 Evaluation_of_the_In_Vitro_Disinfection_Potential.pdf Evaluation_of_the_In_Vitro_Disinfection_Potential.pdf 1 E8F1BC4F8EA9430D3E61D35E9D30BAB4 6de47b5851d0beed9f9dda3a8e5960858a0dd67c39aa5661983826660e6a7efa 7b49ff41-b7c5-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196910 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9717/12/12/2743 1 3df613d1-b7c5-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196909 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
