摘要:Biological properties associated to many medicinal and aromatic plants have recently gained a great popularity and scientific interest. The plants have been reported to have antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antidermatophytic properties. The present study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of four distilling essential oils from four Moroccan medicinal and aromatic plants (S. aromaticum, E. rossi, R. officinalis and T. vulgaris), Antimicrobial activity screening was conducted by the well diffusion method according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute guidelines using 7 gram positive,14 gram negative bacteria and 6 species of Candida spp.The results indicated that essential oils of R. officinalis and of T. vulgaris showed high inhibitory activity against all the investigated bacterial strains except essential oil of Thymus vulgaris was inactive for P. mirabilis. Also essential oil of E. rossi was active against 14 strains among 21 strains tested, while essential oil of S. aromaticum was inactive for most the investigated bacterial strains. MIC values of S. aromaticum, R. officinalis and T. vulgaris were between 6.25-12.5-25μg/ml and were bactericidal for most bacterial strains. While, MIC values of E. rossi were between 12.5-25μg/ml and bactericidal for all investigated bacterial strains. All essential oils showed that have the maximum antimycotic activity against all types of investigated candida strain. In conclusion, our results confirm that these oils plants which can be used to cure infections and can also have pharmaceutical and preservatives properties.
