Özet

Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria are creating a serious challenge to treat diseases. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of four different essential oils (Melissa officinalis L., Nigella sativa L., Laurus nobilis L., and Origanum onites L.) against MDR bacteria from cats and dogs. Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), two different multi-drug resistant S. aureus (MDR SA1 and MDR SA2), and Escherichia coli (ESBL E. coli) that contained extended-spectrum beta-lactamases strains were used in the study. It was determined that effectiveness of these oils against MDR bacteria through minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) test, minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) test and antibiofilm assay. According to results the inhibitory effect of essential oils determined as oregano>melissa>laurel=nigella. Therefore, the most susceptible isolate to essential oils was MRSA. Also, the results showed melissa and oregano significant antibiofilm activity against MDR bacteria. In a conclusion the current study declares essential oils from medicinal plants are effective natural products for resistant pathogen bacteria.
