Antimicrobial effect of selected essential oils on pathogenic bacteria of the urogenital tract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) represent a significant cause of morbidity affecting individuals of all ages, including the pediatric population. In about 80% of cases, the cause of UTI in humans is Escherichia coli. In this paper, we have investigated the antibacterial effect of essential oils of te...

| description | Urinary tract infections (UTI) represent a significant cause of morbidity affecting individuals of all ages, including the pediatric population. In about 80% of cases, the cause of UTI in humans is Escherichia coli. In this paper, we have investigated the antibacterial effect of essential oils of ten species of plants on clinical isolates of pathogenic bacteria isolated from the pediatric population. The existing differences in the antimicrobial effect of essential oils were examined by the one-way ANOVA method, while Tukey's test was used to compare pairs. The results have shown that the essential oil of Origanum vulgare L. had the strongest antimicrobial activity (> 25 mm). The weakest effect was shown by the oil of Chamomilla recutita (L.) Raushert, which showed the antimicrobial effect only towards E. coli. Based on the results, we can conclude that essential oils can be a natural alternative to the use of antibiotics. |
