and essential oils (EOs) are well-known for their ethno-pharmaceutical properties. In the present study, we have analyzed the chemical composition of both EOs by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Then we assessed their antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-virulence actions against the opportunistic pathogen . The cytotoxic effect of agents tested against this bacterium was investigated by monitoring reactive oxygen-species (ROS) generation and antioxidant-enzyme (catalase) production. Regarding the antistaphylococcal effects, our results showed antibacterial efficacy of both Eos and their combination, where the minimum inhibitory concentrations ranged between 0.7 and 11.25 mg/mL. A combination of tested agents showed the highest anti-hemolytic and anti-protease effects. Additionally, association between EOs displayed more potency against the development of biofilm performed by with percentage of removal reaching 74%. The inhibitory impacts of EOs on virulence factors were discovered to be concentration-dependent. Furthermore, our results provide insight on the abilities of and EOs, as well as their potential in combination, to generate ROS and affect oxidative stress enzyme catalase in , leading to their antagonistic effect against this pathogen.
精油(EOs)因其民族药学特性而闻名。在本研究中,我们通过气相色谱 - 质谱法分析了两种精油的化学成分。然后我们评估了它们对机会性病原体的抗菌、抗生物膜和抗毒力作用。通过监测活性氧(ROS)生成和抗氧化酶(过氧化氢酶)产生,研究了测试药剂对该细菌的细胞毒性作用。关于抗葡萄球菌作用,我们的结果显示两种精油及其组合均具有抗菌功效,最低抑菌浓度在0.7至11.25mg/mL之间。测试药剂的组合显示出最高的抗溶血和抗蛋白酶作用。此外,精油组合对由[具体细菌名称未给出]形成的生物膜具有更强的抑制作用,去除率达到74%。发现精油对[具体细菌名称未给出]毒力因子的抑制作用具有浓度依赖性。此外,我们的结果揭示了[具体植物名称未给出]和[具体植物名称未给出]精油及其组合产生ROS以及影响[具体细菌名称未给出]中氧化应激酶过氧化氢酶的能力,从而导致它们对该病原体产生拮抗作用。
